Our Projects
At Memphis Hack Club, we host weekly workshops and encourage our members to build on top of their individual workshops and create their unique version. Memphis Hack Club is a collection of talented student coders and engineers, and this page includes projects our members made in club and outside of club, on teams and individually.
