Watch Hackaday.io/superconference for more details – Hackaday SuperConference is Hackaday’s first conference. The conference will take place November 14th and 15th 2015 in San Francisco at Dog Patch Studios located at 991 Tennessee St, San Francisco, CA 94107. Talks and workshops will cover hardware, engineering, creativity in technical design, product design, prototyping and projects. We will also be announcing the winners of the Hackaday Prize as part of the conference.
We wanted to attend a super fun and creative conference with technical talks that aren’t overrun with sales pitches. So we built one just for all of us!
The call for proposals is now closed but if you have a great story to tell, feel free to submit it anyway. We like topics that revolve around real world hardware: lessons learned from things you built or techniques you can teach to others (based upon the things you built). The overarching theme of all talks/workshops should be about HARDWARE CREATION.
If you have questions or comments about your proposal, speaker nominations or anything else to do with this conference, get in touch with @Sophi Kravitz (sophi@hackaday.com) or @Chris Gammell (via IM on hackaday.io).
Hackaday SuperConference Code of Conduct
We are angry, frustrated, and in pain because of the violence and murder of Black people by the police because of racism. We are in the fight AGAINST RACISM. George Floyd was murdered, his life stolen. The Adafruit teams have specific actions we’ve done, are doing, and will do together as a company and culture. We are asking the Adafruit community to get involved and share what you are doing. The Adafruit teams will not settle for a hash tag, a Tweet, or an icon change. We will work on real change, and that requires real action and real work together. That is what we will do each day, each month, each year – we will hold ourselves accountable and publish our collective efforts, partnerships, activism, donations, openly and publicly. Our blog and social media platforms will be utilized in actionable ways. Join us and the anti-racist efforts working to end police brutality, reform the criminal justice system, and dismantle the many other forms of systemic racism at work in this country, read more @ adafruit.com/blacklivesmatter
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
