24th January from 6.30pm - Uni Days, Nottingham
What's it about?
Getting Started with the Particle Photon.
What will we be doing?
Pete Gallagher of PJG Creations will be taking you through the Particle Ecosystem and concentrating on the Particle Photon.
We’ll look at the various ways to get started with the Photon before getting going with some example projects to get you started on your journey with the Particle Photon.
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.
What do we need to bring?
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;
