Hi thanks so much for the detailed guidance! I did reach out to Hack Club, and they mentioned they provide the GitHub Student Developer Pack ,but that seems to be the extent of what's currently offered on their end. When I tried the link for the swag request (education.github.com/swag), it's showing a 404 error on my side. I've attached a screenshot showing the issue. Could you help point me to the correct/updated link, or let me know if there's an alternative way to submit the swag request? Appreciate all the help! |

Hey @Ares006-007, great initiative! Here's exactly what you need to do: Fastest route — Hack Club Slack: Official GitHub Education swag form: Have these ready when applying: Hack Club chapter/affiliation proof Stickers and pins get approved quickly. T-shirts have stricter requirements, so request those separately and earlier. Good luck with Hack Club Haven Bengaluru — sounds like a great event! |

Hey @Ares006-007, sorry about that — that link is no longer active, GitHub removed the swag form. Here's the correct way to request it now: Email directly: In your email mention: Event name: Hack Club Haven Bengaluru Also try the Campus Experts route: Sorry for the outdated link in my earlier reply — the email above is the working route right now. Good luck! 🙂 |

most the campus experts in india are retired and now are working profession, 😭 |
|
That's fair! Then emailing [email protected] is the best bet !! yk — just mention your Hack Club affiliation upfront and they'll likely fast-track it.🥲 |
Uh oh!

Hi everyone,
Hi GitHub team and community,
I'm organizing a teen-only game jam under Hack Club, based in Hyderabad, India. The goal is to get high schoolers building small games together in a fun, low-pressure environment — coding, snacks, music, and shipping projects in a day.
Event details:
event name : hack club Haven Bengaluru
Format: Game jam
Audience: Teenagers (high school age), open to beginners and intermediate coders
Location: Bengaluru, Karnartaka, India
Organizing body: Hack Club
Expected attendees: 100-200 teens across india
Date: 14-15 Novemeber, 2026
What I'm requesting:
I'd love support with GitHub swag and goodies for participants — stickers, pins, t-shirts, or any Octocat merch you can offer. I saw that GitHub partners with Hack Club to support high school hackathons with swag, training materials, and even sponsorship, so I wanted to check the best way to request this for our event.
Happy to share more details, our Hack Club Slack handle, or event registration link if needed. Let me know what info you need from my end to process this. Thanks so much for supporting student-led events like this!
