fromZero (weekly online Estuary jam sessions)

All are welcome to join these drop-in jam sessions taking place in the Estuary platform for collaboration and learning through live coding. On a regular schedule each week, moderators from the Networked Imagination Laboratory (NIL) will be at each session to offer guidance and assistance.

Q: What will we do? A: Make music and animation together using simple live coding languages in the Estuary browser-based platform (https://estuary.mcmaster.ca)

Q: What do I need to participate? A: A computer with the Chrome, Chromium, or Opera browser installed (other browsers may work, but may not work as well) and basic Internet access. No prior experience is necessary, although people with experience live coding are certainly welcome to join!

Q: How do I sign up? A: To participate, please register at this Eventbrite page. Note: ignore the date and time on the Eventbrite page - once you register you will be free to attend any of the weekly sessions. You will be sent further information about how to join the sessions after registering.

Q: I only see one date on the Eventbrite sign up? A: The jam sessions run on a weekly schedule and participants are free to attend any of them, to attend different sessions one week than another, etc. Just pick the one available date for registration purposes and everything will be fine.

Q: What if I have other questions? A: Please contact David Ogborn at ogbornd@mcmaster.ca
