Presentation(30 - 45min):

Becoming a maker: Microcontrollers and JavaScript using Johnny-Five - Matt Webb (https://twitter.com/creatify_me)

Have you ever had an idea that could only take life outside of the browser but you never followed it through because it seemed too hard build/prototype it? Most developers don’t consider themselves makers because they don’t know how to create hardware.

Things we'll cover:

• What is an microcontroller?
• What hardware basics should you learn?
• What is Johnny-Five.js?
• Setting Johnny-Five up with Arduino and Tessel 2
• Cut the usb cord and run J5 standalone on Tessel 2
• Demos with both Arduino and Tessel 2

Socialize:

We'll have beer and pizza! We'll also allow people to announce any job opportunities they may have at that time so you can socialize with potential applicants.
