<div dir="ltr">I wonder if it would be possible to simul-cast over Google Hangout or Skype and have the Melbourne Makerspace "attend" this class too? It will be 7:30 pm here and that is our Show N Tell night where we normally show off things we've built or are currently building or just ideas for a project and invite the public. We sometimes order pizzas with funds from the "pizza jar". So I might bring up the live feed when it's my turn and show n tell your eat n educate class!<div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, May 13, 2016 at 5:45 PM, Tyler Crumpton <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:tyler.crumpton@gmail.com" target="_blank">tyler.crumpton@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Hey Makers!<div><br></div><div>Next Wednesday's free "Eat-n-Educate" will be a hands-on class walking you through writing Python scripts that can run on Synapse Wireless microcontroller SNAP modules.
