DESCRIPTION: Why \n\n We want to show that node is an all-purpose\, fun too
 l by showing its potential with hardware. How? By bringing together those 
 interested in node and hardware hacking\, and giving them an open space to
  hack\, collaborate\, learn\, and share their results with others. \n\n Wh
 at Cool Stuff can I do? \n\n Checkout the Johnny-Five examples for some ex
 amples of cool stuff to do with Node and Arduino. \n\n tl\;dr - You can do
  stuff with motors\, servos\, sensors\, LEDs\, in categories like home aut
 omation\, robots that move\, walk\, and dance\, and just about anything yo
 u can wire together. \n\n How \n\n BYOHardware -- Assume there will be no 
 hardware waiting for you at this event. You will need to purchase your own
 \, but no worries\, we have some suggestions: \n\n Here's a list of sugges
 ted kits for beginners: \n\n \n Sparkfun Inventor's Kit \n MakerShed Start
 er Kit\n\n \n Also recommended is their Microcontroller Starter Kit \n  \n
  Adafruit Starter Kit \n \n\n Also\, here is a list of parts providers for
  intermediate level: \n\n \n AdaFruit \n MakerShed \n Sparkfun Electronics
  \n \n\n But what libraries do I need? \n\n You should download Node.JS ve
 rsion 0.10.x from nodejs.org. Then create a new directory for this event\,
  and run \n\n npm install johnny-five\n \n\n Inside that folder. Here's th
 e GitHub repo for johnny-five with more information. \n\n We will probably
  also have people showing up with Raspberry Pi boards. That's totally fine
 ! We want to encourage any interested node hardware hackers in Austin! \n\
 n But I don't know how to use Node for this/don't know electronics/etc \n\
 n That's okay! We will have mentors who know how to get you up and running
  with both the ctronics and the code. We want to create a good environment
  for those new to hardware hacking. \n\n Sponsoring \n\n Want to sponsor?
