ToorCamp 2018,
June 22, 2018, noon
(240 minutes)
Pitch ideas, form teams, and build a cool game or app of your own design! No experience necessary! (Targeted to younger Toorcon attendees, but anyone is welcome to attend.)
CodeDay is an event where people of all skill levels get together to build creative and fun games and apps. Attendees of all skill levels are welcome: we just ask that experienced attendees choose an ambitious project for their skill level. Projects are judged on creativity and personal difficulty, although there are no prizes.
This is a great event for younger ToorCamp attendees, although attendees should be at least 6 or 7. Laptop required. An intro-level side-workshop will be provided after kickoff for newer coders.
