George discovered (and became prolific in) coding in high school through projects, a journey that I’m sure many of you (including myself) relate to. \n\nI’ll be hosting it with @aids and we can’t wait to see you there, so be sure to RSVP by reacting to the [#announcements](https://hackclub.slack.com/archives/C0266FRGT) post with a :comma: emoji.\n\nWant to learn more about George Hotz? Well, here’s the TL;DR on why you’ll want to ask him questions:\n- 🔏When he was 17, he was the first person to remove the [SIM Lock](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIM_lock) on iPhones and even got a congratulatory email from Steve Wozniak (co-founder of Apple) \n- 🧰He built his own self-driving car is less than a month!\n- 😎He’s the founder of comma.ai (the autonomous car upgrade that “makes driving chill”).\n- 🏆A Portlander at heart, George won the International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) *thrice* in high school and spent much of his twenties jailbreaking Apple and Sony devices (and got sued for doing so)! \n- 💽Some more big-name brands that he’s gotten the pleasure of hacking include iOS, Android, and PlayStation 3. \n- 🎵Listen to him rap (Hotz is [tomcr00se](https://soundcloud.com/tomcr00se) on SoundCloud). He’s made over 28 original songs and covers ranging from original compositions “5AM in Silicon Valley” to “sufficiently advanced democracy is indistinguishable from trolling.”\n👓Want to learn more about him?
