Tech Tues - Bring and Work on your own Side Project
Details
( v260206 considering blending this with the idea of Skill Sharing, which might later become a separate event, someday. If you want to come by, share a skill, or learn from someone else, it would be nice to have an event like that. I can teach programming, basic ASL (American Sign Language), basics of many social dances, been learning a little bit about stretching, nutrition, etc. I'm open to teach, open to learn. Know a little about self def. I'd like to learn how to get better at speaking groups and being a more engaging conversationalist. So, sharing/practice of these things, would be cool. If anyone else has interest for it, lmk. Like a Show and Tell or informal sharing/teaching of skills).
I would assume most ppl could arrive earliest 5:30pm, but if you're a student or part time, have a day off, etc, and want a place to work as early as 2pm, send me a message and we'll see if we can work something out. I envision someday, it would be cool if this were like an internet cafe kind of scene
I usually work on some programming/ coding/ website building (React, javascript, full stack, front end, back end), and I can help teach people how to do that, and/or feel free to bring a side project of your own to work on, a book to read, an item to crochet, etc. I have some misc workstation computers that you as needed.
This is primarily a learning/educational/productivity event, so please only come if you primarily plan to focus and try to learn and get work done. I want to try to motivate/discipline myself to be more creative and put more work into my side projects, and it feels like it's easier and more fun to do in groups/ friends/ similarly-minded people. Like going to the gym, but for skills. If everyone is focused on trying to improve, it helps keep the focus and motivation
Simple example websites I've created:
https://talk.azfriend.us
https://reactui.azfriend.us
Can also include game development. I've created simple computer game demos, which ppl can contribute to in various ways, code, music, art, story-writing, etc:

Feel free to optionally bring snacks if you'd like. Try for healthier items like:
fruit (blueberries, strawberries, apples, pears), 100% whole grain bread, chips (I have a bunch of salsa right now...so tortilla chips could be handy)

I'd like to try to get myself in the habit of doing certain events, but I also want to help declutter this main page and make it easier to see variety of events. As such, I may post official events less often, but if anyone wants to help me test my website side projects, and also attend events off the official, feel free to check out this site I'm trying to build out

*Note as a heads up, my house has cameras set up throughout to discourage bad behavior. I don't go through the footage unless something comes up, but here's a heads up so you're aware.
Not comfortable putting my addy publicly, so MESSAGE ME on Meetup OR TEXT me 480-516-2582 for address prior to it starting. I'm within about a mile of the map addy below. If I don't hear from you by the day of the event and I know you don't have the addy, I may move you off of the Yes RSVP list.
