No, this event is only open to current high school students (or younger).
Yes, this event is open to everyone. However, this program was designed in North America and your milage may vary. For example, some countries will charge customs taxes that the grant doesn't cover.
If you team up with an IRL friend and want to build a project together, you would work together to submit one pull request. All teammates must meet requirements for the event (eg. under 18, have submitted RSVP, be on Slack, etc.) The grant amount would be for up to $100 per person, growing with team size. You must be able to meet up in person to work on the project with your teammate(s). The maximum number of people in a team is 4.
There are 1,000 grants. Fortunately, OnBoard will snowball into a continuous program, so don't worry if you're not in the first 1k.
Yes! You can design as many boards as you want– just keep in mind the $100 grant is per-person. Just follow the directions for each board!
No, we unfortunately cannot reimburse for the cost of taxes and duties for your PCB shipment. However, certain vendors do offer shipping options that prepay customs, and we recommend using them.
The board may have a budget exceeding $100. However, you would be responsible for covering the difference by adding money to your Hack Club Bank account.
If your initial grant is less than $100, and you find yourself needing more to order extra parts, reach out to the Bank team at [email protected] to request additional funds.
We'll try our best to review within 48 hours. However, there may be delays around federal holidays in the United States.
No fee! It'd be kinda weird to give you the $100, and then take $7 back. The 7% fiscal sponsorship fee will be waived for Onboard grant funds. If your project's budget exceeds $100, and you need more funds to build your project, there will be no fee to add personal funds to your account.
Please do include shipping and taxes so the grant amount you receive will be as close as possible to your project expenses.
