Philly, this is what a PATCH Lab looks like. You walk in curious. You leave with something you built.

[Waskar Paulino @r_ksaw]

I used to think projection mapping needed a studio and a budget. It needs a laptop, a projector, and a wall.

On 09/30, 17 people proved it at PATCH 003 in Philly. Four were starting from zero.

The template is free: https://t.co/uyytgSLpyZ

Philly, we are handing you a projector.

PATCH 003: Projection Mapping Lab. Wed 9/30, 6-9 PM at Pennovation Works. Write p5.js in a browser, watch it land on a real surface, keep the files.

No experience needed. Free.

I spent years thinking design and code were two different jobs. Projection mapping is where they turn out to be the same thing.

PATCH 003, Wed 9/30, 6-9 PM at Pennovation. Write p5.js in a browser, watch it land on a real projector, keep the files. Free.

Last night’s PhilaCon Valley Code Lab brought Philly together 💡

Social tech reshaping how we connect, civic tech opening resources, creative builds mixing art + engineering.

Got a project, talk, or workshop idea? Let’s collab. Big thanks @PennovationWork 🤲🏼
