Christmas littleBits Hack Day   We are pleased to announce that we'll be running a hack afternoon for anyone aged 11+ on the 19th December at the Coworking Bath space (inside the Guildhall) Bath!

Who is this event for? Anyone aged over 11 who has programmed already a bit! We're going to be uisng JavaScript so a bit of previous experience in that would be awesome (made your own interactive emoji or animated solar system). What is a hack day? A hack day is a day where people who enjoy playing with tech get together to build awesome things.
