Join us at the J.C. Nichols Memorial Fountain at the Country Club Plaza for an awesome night of scavenger hunting brought to us by Breakout KC. Starting promptly at 6pm we will hunt our way through the plaza in search of multiple clues. Grand Prize for the person who completes the hunt first! Will you be the winner?

Interested in helping the Kansas City area?  Great! Whether or not you know how to code, you can help by joining us to work on civic hacking to create a better Kansas City and surrounding cities. Bring projects, ideas, designs, laptops, data, and friends.

***PLEASE NOTE: EVENT IS ONE WEEK EARLIER THAN NORMAL***

At this meeting, we'll be discussing Adobe Character Animator, which allows you to capture real-time performances and see them reflected in a character you've created in Photoshop or Illustrator. Character Animator can synchronize mouth movements to your speech and give you control over all aspects of a character’s movement through the mouse, keyboard, and programmable behaviors. (It's honestly one of the most fun programs I've ever used!)
