WHAT IS MOONHACK?
Moonhack is a free international event bringing kids from across the world together for two weeks of coding!
Suitable for kids ages 8-15, it’s a free, easy and hands-on way to get coding, no matter where you are.
Over the last 8 years over 190 000 children have been coding Moonhack projects.
Moonhack is organised and run by Code Club Australia. Code Club is a nationwide network of volunteer-led coding clubs with a mission to #getkidscoding! We are a charity with the aim of giving every child the skill, confidence and opportunity to shape their world.
HOW DO I BECOME A HOST?
Moonhackathons are for any household, office, Code Club, library or school that want to organise a group to participate in Moonhack.
These are independently held events, not managed by Code Club. Don’t worry! We have some simple steps to get you to the moon and back!

Step 4
Moonhack and celebrate
Hold your event and celebrate at the end. Will you submit your projects and enter the competition?
