International NodeBots Day 2018

It's July again and time for making JavaScript-controlled robots. It's South Florida's 3rd annual International NodeBotsDay! The focus of NodeBots Day is on sharing and enjoying each other's company. And JavaScript. Lots of JavaScript.

This year we're joining with Palm Beach JS (https://www.meetup.com/Palm-Beach-Javascript) and MiamiJS (https://www.meetup.com/miamijs) to create one of south Florida's largest JavaScript event.

Microsoft’s Cloud Developer Advocacy team ( https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/advocates ) is sponsoring BOTH our events and there will be Kits given out to the first dozen of so groups including : Arduino (ESP8266 D1 Mini's) and lots of electronic parts (from LEDs, to resistors, to switches, to transistors) to use during the event.

This event is friendly for all ages and experience levels. There will be kits to use during the day but you are MORE than welcome to bring your own parts to make a NodeBot of your choosing.
