Every four years, the [[Chaos Communication Camp]] is the outdoor alternative for hackers worldwide.

The CCC publishes the irregular magazine ''[[Datenschleuder]]'' (''data slingshot'') since 1984.
The Berlin chapter produces a monthly radio show called {{Interlanguage link multi|Chaosradio|de}} which picks up various technical and political topics in a two-hour [[talk radio]] show. The program is aired on a local radio station called {{Interlanguage link multi|Fritz (radio){{!}}Fritz|de|3=Fritz (Hörfunksender)}} and on the internet.
Other programs have emerged in the context of Chaosradio, including radio programs offered by some regional Chaos Groups and the podcast spin-off ''CRE'' by [[Tim Pritlove]].

Many of the chapters of CCC participate in the volunteer project ''Chaos macht Schule'' which supports teaching in local schools. Its aims are to improve technology and [[media literacy]] of pupils, parents, and teachers.<ref>{{cite web|title=Chaos macht Schule|url=https://ccc.de/schule|access-date=2016-01-11|last=CCC|language=de}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Medienkompetenz, quo vadis?
