This Maker Party is for YOU!

At Hive Seattle's Pop-Up Maker Party, you will learn web literacy and how to program with Python and JavaScript languages. You'll also get the chance to improve the Django Carrots Tutorials and explore other programming languages. And get creative with the basics of binary! Participants will learn how binary can represent numbers, letters and pictures, and will get to make and take a personalized binary bracelet.
