Code and Connect
Welcome to Our First Code & Connect Meetup!
Hello everyone, and welcome to what I hope will be the first of many amazing gatherings! Whether you're a seasoned developer or someone who just wrote their first "Hello, World!" last week, you're exactly where you belong.
https://www.meetup.com/valparaiso-tools-meetup-group/events/310217987/?utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=share-btn_savedevents_share_modal&utm_source=link
What We're All About
This meetup exists for one simple reason: programmers and hardware hackers are at their best when they're learning from each other. Tonight, we're creating a space where those solitary coding struggles and late-night soldering sessions become shared discoveries.
Every project tells a story – the weekend code hack that spiraled into something beautiful, the Arduino project that finally blinked the right LED sequence, the work assignment that taught you something profound, or that ambitious IoT device sitting on your workbench. Whether it's software, hardware, or that magical blend of both, we want to hear your stories, see what you've built, and celebrate victories both big and small.
What to Expect
This is intentionally informal. Grab some food, find a comfortable spot, and get ready for fascinating conversations. We'll have time for impromptu demos (bring your breadboards!), collaborative problem-solving, and those wonderful "wait, how did you do that?" moments.
No presentations are required, but curiosity is essential. Come ready to share, ask questions, and discover your next favorite tool or collaborator.
Looking Ahead
This inaugural meeting is just the beginning. Our vision is to meet monthly, building a consistent community where we can watch each other's projects evolve and ideas cross-pollinate.
Let's Get Started
Welcome to Code & Connect – a community that celebrates the craft of programming in all its forms. Let's build something great together, starting with this conversation.
Who wants to kick us off by sharing what they've been working on lately?

Stained Glass Stepping Stones
Welcome to the Stained Glass Stepping Stones Workshop!
Join us at The HUB NWI on July 12, 2025, at 2:00 PM for a fun and creative afternoon. Let's get our hands dirty and create beautiful stepping stones using colorful stained glass pieces.
No experience is necessary - our instructor will guide you through the process step by step. It's a great way to unwind, socialize, and take home a unique piece of art for your garden.
This workshop is open to young adults, but for safety reasons, all glass cutting and shaping must be done by or supervised by an adult.
Important: Although we use fast-setting concrete, your stepping stones must remain undisturbed for at least 3 days to fully set and prevent cracking. Please plan accordingly for pickup or transport.
Don't miss out on this opportunity to unleash your creativity! See you there!

Under the Sea Sugar Cookie Decorating Class for Kid's
Interested in learning more about decorated sugar cookies?! Kristi's Cookie Kitchen is here to help! In this 1.5-hour class, we'll cover the basics to sugar cookies (so – yes, it’s beginner friendly!), do some piping practice with Royal Icing, talk about how to strategize the best ways to decorate sugar cookies, and cover the general concepts around dough and icing! Everything you'll need is provided at class along with a live in-person instructor – just bring a smile (and maybe an apron).
“Sand” by and relax as I prep the dough and icing for this 1.5 hour cookie decorating class! We’ll be spending some time with the fishes learning the basics.
You'll leave class with a great understanding of the basics of sugar cookies plus a few cool techniques we'll cover in class! More details on refunds, things to bring, credits, and FAQs are below - looking forward to having you with us.
This class is for the beginner cookier or for the person who is just curious about what cookie decorating is all about! If you have limited experience with sugar cookies, found yourself frustrated with royal icing, or if you're trying to have fun with family or friends, this is the class for you! We’ll be decorating a set of 6 sea creatures.
We provide everything you will need from cookies, icing, sprinkles, and a box to take your awesome creations home in - we just need YOU! Each to-be-baker gets 6 cookies, 4 icing colors, sprinkles, and all the tools necessary to knock this cookie class out of the park! Everything is prepped right before class – so no baking or icing mixing required. Just decorate!
This class is good for ages 6 and up but minors under 16 must be accompanied a parent or gardian, but if you'd like to leave the kiddos at home, purchase an add-on kit (more on that below)! The kits are great for kids at home, plus - we'll send you the class PowerPoint so you can teach them yourself!
