I was working with Hack Club students on an experimental VPN client (https://github.com/hackclub/burrow) but never got the momentum to finish it. Made some great friends, though! It's a really fantastic organization.
The students have one big global Slack instance. If you're a student and on here, you should also be in there: https://hackclub.com/slack/
The “understanding through building” mentality is something I never got to experience as a group, the obvious answer is open source and the like but I wonder if there’s something more learning oriented.
In any case, good luck on finding the right community!
Are you back on Slack as the primary comms channel after their sudden attempt to upcharge you (followed by the U-turn after the PR backlash)? Do you have some mirroring and other kind of fallback strategy if something like that happens again?

>Yes, I'm a teenager ,18 and under
So not actually a teenager but a minor is what they mean and use what I would call deceptive language around it. But why?....

It's an organization for hacking working with high schools and young people. They don't want small children enrolled, and they don't want older people.
"teenager 18 and under" is perfectly fine description for 13-18 or 7th to 12th grade.
