Hackster & Intel present: Dallas Nodebots Day 2016

Each year our community around the world gather on a single day to learn and make together. We call this NodeBots Day! This year it's on July 30, 2016

NodeBots Day is not a hackathon. There will be no prizes other than the satisfaction of making something awesome! Each event has experts on hand to help you build your project and start you on the path to building awesome devices. Overall we're going to get together, collaborate and hack. The focus of NodeBots Day is on sharing and enjoying each other's company and JavaScript. Lots of JavaScript.

Nodebots attracts a large collection of Makers, Web Developers, Students, and Engineers. Each Event has a slightly different crowd, but they are all unique opportunities to reach a strong community of people who do interesting stuff.

Intel and Hackster is kind enough to supply us Intel Edison and Grove Sensors for Nodebots day. We're going to create projects together.

What to bring:

1. Laptop

2. Hardware components you want to connect to Intel Edison Or other hardware dev kits. You can bring a Raspberry Pi, Arduino, Particle Photons, Tessel, Littlebits. We'll show you how to use Javascript on it.

3. Your ideas and desire to learn

Bring your personal projects to demo. Post your hardware projects at Hackster.io (http://hackster.io)

So what's a Nodebot?

If you've any JavaScript experience, you can now use your powers to manipulate the machines. From blinking lights (http://instagram.com/p/cFVNtmJxlc/) to Sumo Bot battles (http://nodebots.io/sumo.html), Remote control cats (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NYyGC-wZKU), and Bull fighting with quadcopters...

All you need is some basic JavaScript knowledge and desire to learn.
