Projects

Everyone coming to DINACON has just 3 simple rules:

Make Something
Document and Share it
Give feedback to at least 2 other folks about their thing!

Many projects are also collected in our books (which are available to download for free)!

Here is also a growing collection of all the amazing projects developed at our fun little jungle/sea conference!
