## Travel Stipends
You'll automatically qualify for a reimbursment once you have **finished building the projects you submitted for Undercity**.
The amount will be revealed at the kickoff call!
Travelling by car, bus, or train? The [Hack Club Gas Fund](https://gas.hackclub.com/) can reimburse your costs! However, you'll still need an invite to come.
## What's a hackathon?
A social making marathon! Team up with other teenagers around the world and try to make the goofiest, coolest project in 72 hours - from start to finish. At the end, you'll demo your project to others, and there will be prizes!
Throughout the hackathon, there'll be plenty of activities and workshops you can go to. Ever want to compete in a macropad speedrun or play smash with custom characters at 2am? There will be tons of things you can do here!
All meals (from dinner on Friday, to breakfast on Monday) will be provided during Undercity. You'll stay in GitHub HQ for the duration of the event - bring a sleeping bag!

#### Visa information
If you’re traveling internationally, you may need either an [ESTA](https://www.cbp.gov/travel/international-visitors/esta) or a visa based on your country of citizenship. Meeting the requirements to enter the United States is the responsibility of the attendee, and you are encouraged to do your own research.
If you require a visa:
- Start applying soon; wait times can get very long
- If you need a Letter of Invitation from Hack Club, let us know in the Travel form
Visa expenses will not be paid by Hack Club under any circumstances.

You can also earn additional stipends for points above 12.
A needs-based stipend application will also be available.
