MongoDB and Sentry.io are joining forces on Saturday April 28th, 2018 to present a "Jewelbots Hackday" for girls ages 7 - 13. Participate in an all day event that focuses on empowering young women and girls to take part in technology.

Jewelbots are friendship bracelets you can code. They detect when your friends’ Jewelbots are nearby using Bluetooth and allow you to send secret messages. Jewelbots have a micro-USB port that allows you to upload special code to them. You write the code on your computer! (No tracking devices included for your privacy!)

This event will include a Jewelbot unit which are made with ages 7+ in mind. If you already do have a JewelBot, feel free to bring it along!

Never coded before? Don't worry, you're coming to learn. You may want to watch this video to prep you for the experience of working with your Jewelbot.
