Brittany and Amira are students of Ada Developers Academy's third cohort. We've been coding full-time for nine months as of January. If accepted, this talk would be our second time speaking at an event. The first time being an earlier draft of this same talk at a Seattle ruby meetup, *.rb (pronounced "Splat.rb"), of roughly 30 people.

This talk was inspired by our month-long capstone projects for Ada Developers Academy. Despite that Ada's curriculum focuses on web development, we embarked on hardware projects: Brittany built a musical LED tophat and Amira built a remote laser bot to play with her cat when she wasn't home. The instructions & code for Brittany's tophat and the code for Amira's laser bot are both on GitHub.

Additional Requirements

• audio output (for Brittany's tophat)
• extension cords
• reliable WiFi
