Getting Started with the Particle Photon - Workshop:

Particle have very kindly donated some Particle Photon Maker Kits:

So, to celebrate, Pete will be bringing along 5 Photon Maker kits for us to play with.

Pete will introduce the Particle Platform, the Photon Hardware and the various tools needed to get started with the Particle Photon.

We'll run through a few small projects so that you can get accustomed to how everything ties together.

You'll obviously need to bring a laptop with you... PC or MAC will do as we'll be using the web for the vast majority of the evening!

There'll be a few kits available to use on the evening, however, you may need to share.

If you don't fancy sharing, or want to carry on further in your own time, do feel free to buy yourself either a maker kit;
