Take the mission of spreading JavaScript to every corner of the world to its next logical conclusion, the water! Join a worthy crew (or cross the seas solo) to hack together a boat (or a boat-like floaty object) using Node.js to bring the seas under your control. Note: You may get wet on this ride as you will undoubtedly need to rescue your vessel at least once. Dress appropriately!
-
Team up (or go solo) to hack together Arduino-based robots, all using just JavaScript! If you have no idea what an LED is, or a resistor for that matter, have no fear! NodeBot experts will be on-hand to help you hack and solder your way to a full fledged NodeBot!

Team up (or go solo), hack a quadcopter using Node.js, and make a flying robot do your bidding!

The San Diego Safari Park is a one-of-a-kind 2,200 acre wildlife preserve where over 4,000 rare and endangered species can be seen in habitats replicating their native homelands. Take a ride on the African Tram – it’s the absolute best way to see the diverse collection of animals on the African Outpost. Then, take your time checking out the extensive individual animal enclosures or catch a show! There are so many options to choose from such as the Tiger Keeper Talk, Frequent Flyers Bird Show, or the crowd favorite, Shiley’s Cheetah Run! Transportation to and from the Safari Park will be provided. NOTE: This is for conference ticket holders only. Children and Significant Other tickets will be available for purchase.

What could be more Southern Californian than surfing? Stroll out onto the beach and prepare for some fun. Professional instructors will teach you essential fundamentals which guide you through the amazing process of learning to surf. No matter your skill level, you will learn the basics of board handling, positioning, paddling, various techniques on getting to your feet, surfing etiquette, ocean knowledge, and water safety. The instructors will be in the water assisting you into waves and giving you tips after each ride to help you successfully ride your next wave to the beach. The lesson will start with an instruction session on the beach that will last approximately 20 minutes before getting into the water with your instructor. Transportation to and from La Jolla will be provided. Note: You will get wet! Please bring a towel, extra clothes, and a bathing suit. Wetsuits will be provided. Space is limited, register early!

What better way to play on the water than stand-up paddle boarding? Stand-up paddle board lessons for beginners start in the sand with instruction on paddling, stance, and balance. Your instructor will cover ocean safety, reading waves, and of course, surfing etiquette. Then it’s into the surf! With your instructor’s guidance, you will paddle yourself around the ocean, taking in breathtaking views of La Jolla, enjoying the company of such marine life as harbor seals, sea lions, dolphins, fish, and shore birds. Transportation to and from La Jolla Shores will be provided. Note: You will get wet! Please bring a towel, extra clothes, and a bathing suit. Wetsuits will be provided. Space is limited, register early!
