Prerequisites:
• bring a laptop
• basic python or C++ coding skills are required
• install OpenCV - we recommend using our setup at https://github.com/akellehe/nycopencv

Notes:
We've got a repository for the group to work with for a quick way to get started at http://github.com/akellehe/nycopencv

This is intended to maximize the share-ability of our individual examples by maintaining the same dependencies and build technique.
