Valentines PCB Workshop

Ever wanted to make your first printed circuit board but had no idea how to get started?
 
On Sunday, Feb 15th at 3pm EST, @Selena and @Aariana Shah are hosting a Valentines Day PCB Workshop, where you can create a custom printed circuit board with LED's in a heart shape that light up when you click a button!
 
They'll guide you step by step on how to build it! Check out the Slack for more information - a zoom link will be posted there!
 
 

Sleepover Referral Program (chance of winning a Jellycat Plushies gift card)!

We want every girl to sign up for Sleepover and make awesome projects! So here are some incentives for getting girls to sign up for sleepover:
 
Get 10 girls to sign up for sleepover -> 3 feathers to spend in the sleepover shop
Get 25 girls to sign up for sleepover -> 5 hour reduction to get to sleepover
 
This is all happening through Pyramid Scheme, where you can get posters to hang up in your school, community, or share digitally, and a referral link to send to your friends so we can track your progress.
 
The person with top referrals gets a $50 dollar grant to the Jellycat store! or an equivalent prize!! Ends March 4th.
 
Tell a friend to tell a friend to sign up for Sleepover now!
 

HackDash

Welcome to Hackdash - a part of sleepover! Code with friends and get a grant to buy food!
 
I started coding because my friends invited me to start coding with them.
 
Now is your chance to do the same!
 
Bring at least two friends over and spend at least two hours coding. We'll issue you a card grant to order food for you and your friends! Must be in person.
 
Why? we want your friends who aren't coders to try it out! you all must be participating in Sleepover!
 
(plus - if you ship a project during your hack dash session, we'll give you 1 extra feather!)

Check it out on the Sleepover Portal!

Thanks for checking out the third edition of the Sleepover newsletter!
 
Next week - I'm gonna start thinking of merch for Sleepover. Let me know what you guys would like to see in the #athena-sleepover channel!
 
See y'all next week
 
With love,
Reem
