Daily Practice Special @ CONTACT MakerSpace

Hello again fellow tinkerers and ponderers!

We really enjoyed our last event at A-Lab and want to thank them for having us, together with everyone that joined us for a wonderful evening!

We're already looking forward to our next event at A-Lab!
That being said, this time around we're going somewhere new yet again...

For our September meetup we've been invited by Adam to join him at his place of choice for creative tinkering: CONTACT MakerSpace.
Exciting?

Well, if not, we've got plenty more!
Adam will tell us all about his daily coding practice and will be joined by Anya, who's bringing us along on her latest Genuary adventure.

We'll wrap up the evening with an open show and tell. Anyone is invited that took part in Driggs' daily practice challenge, no matter how many days you practiced. Even 0 days. If you want to share something, please do!

This time around, there are no chocolates to be won as the challenge kind of is its own prize.

🗣️ Adam Driggers
Adam Driggers ("Driggs") will share this his experience of starting a daily coding practice, which just passed the one year mark! He will share some of his sketches, inspiration, successes and struggles. He also present other artists who have developed daily practices and why you might want to start one too!

🗣️ Anya Prosvetova
By day she wrangles data, by night she wrangled all 31 Genuary prompts. Data engineer Anya Prosvetova will share her story of starting with creative coding and p5.js through Genuary, a yearly January challenge that invites artists and coders to create generative art based on daily prompts. She’ll share key learnings, sources of inspiration, and practical tips and resources to help you kickstart your own generative art explorations.

💃 Challenge
As part of this month's theme of Daily Practice Driggs is inviting/challenging you to start your own daily practice, a short constraint-based exercise.

Many people have found that a daily practice encourages creativity, learning, and growth.

Driggs' tipps for starting a daily practice:

- Limit yourself to one tool or program
- Set a time limit. 30 minutes to 1 hour a day
- Document your work each day
- Don't try to make each day perfect
- Make each day self-contained and not just working on a larger project
- Have fun!
