Check out the builder's guide to get started
Join us at the Cape Town Make Space on Saturday 4 August to help build the next Make course.
The course we're making: Build an Augmented Reality app on Root Insurance
The Make Space will be open all day - at 9am we'll be discussing goals for the day, so it would be great to have you around for that. If you really can't make it in the morning, you're welcome to pop in for a few hours later in the day.
The community of Make developers is actively involved in creating each new course. As an early contributor, you'll be helping build AR and Root activities that make the learning experience awesome and worthwhile for future makers, and dreaming up creative AR and Insurance project ideas to take the learning further. You'll also get to hang out with a cool group of AR/Insuretech enthusiasts, and we'll have delicious food and drinks available throughout :)
