[02] How it works
Three steps to an ID
Join the Slack
find #whoami in the hack club slack and say hi. the rules fit on one page and they're mostly common sense.
Build for 5 hours
identity-related software. a login system, an auth tool, a name generator, whatever fits. track 5 real hours in hackatime, or a notes app if you'd rather. we're not picky.
Ship it, get your ID
ship your project. your card goes in the mail. that part we're sure about.
[03] make it yours
Make your ID
go ahead, it's yours. the card up top updates as you type.
a mouse or your finger works fine
[04] the passport
One passport, every YSWS
whoami is your first stamp. after that, every ysws you finish adds another one. the fine print is still being written.
Finish a YSWS
Earn a sticker
Stick it in the passport
the stickers are real, you actually stick them in

[05] faq
Questions? ok.
How many hours do I need?+
5 hours of identity software gets you the ID card. past that, there's more, we just haven't fully decided what. any time you're actually making something counts, coding, drawing, debugging, or reinstalling arch for the third time. timestamped screenshots are the easiest proof.
What should I build?+
anything identity-related. a login system, an auth tool, a name generator, a whoami for your website. one person is building a robot that yells at their homework about passwords. just finish it.
Do I need to be good at coding?+
no. if you can type whoami in a terminal you qualify. if you can't, we'll show you.
How much does this cost?+
zero. the card, the passport, the stickers, the shipping. we pay for all of it, you just put in the hours.
How long does shipping take?+
once you're done, your stuff is in the mail within a few days. plan on one to three weeks after that, depending on where you live.
Am I eligible?+
if you're in the hack club slack and between 13 and 19, yes. that's the whole requirement.
