Hallo Makers! 👋🏻
🗓️ Την Κυριακή 22 Φεβρουαρίου και ώρα 15:00 πεζοπρούμε νότιο Υμηττό και με αφετηρία την Βούλα!
✍️ Όπως μπορείτε να δείτε και από τον τίτλο θα συναντήσουμε τρία βασικά σημεία ενδιαφέροντος...
⛰️Τρία σπήλαια!
Που το καθένα έχει την δική του ενέργεια αλλά και την δική του ιστορία! Κάποιες εκ των οποίων λογίζονται από εντυπωσιακές έως τραγικές και μυστηριώδεις!
🗺️ Πρόκειται για μία κυκλική διαδρομή 9 χιλιομέτρων και διάρκειας δυόμιση ωρών, απόλυτα βατή και χαμηλής εντάσεως. Κατάλληλη και για αρχάριους με καλή φυσική κατάσταση.
Το 95% της διαδρομής είναι σε αγροτικούς χωματόδρομους.
🔍 Το scouting της διαδρομής έγινε Τετάρτη 4 Φεβρουαρίου!
**Γενικές οδηγίες**:
1. 750ml νερό στο σακίδιο
2. Αθλητικά υποδήματα
3. Κατοικίδια δεν επιτρέπονται
Σε περίπτωση δυσμενών καιρικών συνθηκών η δραστηριότητα θα ακυρωθεί ή αναβληθεί.
Αίτημα συμμετοχής μπορείς να κάνεις μόνο [πατώντας εδώ!](https://luma.com/1bc5hkv5)

Intro to Shaders in Unity
This meetup is a beginner-friendly, hands-on workshop focused on building shaders in Unity using Shader Graph. Instead of slides or theory-heavy lectures, we'll build real shaders together step-by-step.
The format is structured but interactive. You'll watch a quick demo, then build each shader yourself with guidance. By the end, you'll have created multiple shaders you can immediately use in your own projects—and understand how to make more.
**What to Expect:**
* Build 4–5 complete shaders from scratch
* Color tints, snow accumulation, scrolling water, dissolve effects, and more
* No prior shader experience required
* Checkpoint files provided if you fall behind
* Resources for continued learning
All experience levels are welcome. Whether you've never opened Shader Graph or just want to fill gaps in your knowledge, this is a supportive space to learn by doing.
**Food and drinks provided. Join us to learn, build, and level up your shader skills.**
I added the Unity project to the repo here - https://github.com/EricJRico/IntroToShaders.git
This is what we'll be using for the session.
Mangia at Carfagna's!
