In-Person and Virtual Attendance

This event will take place virtually (on Zoom) and in person at the FAU Boca Campus.

In order to attend in person, you must be a current FAU student (non-FAU students and alumni are not allowed to attend in person).

To attend in-person, you must RSVP by June 28th, 11:59 pm and fill out this form https://forms.gle/m2DuPdP14fEZQpVb9 by June 28th, 11:59 pm.

FAU is still operating at 25% maximum occupancy for in-person gatherings, so we will limit the number of students that can attend in person. If you show up in person without registering or after we reach our maximum capacity, you will not be admitted. We will email you prior to the event whether you are able to attend in person.

No prior experience required!

No prior experience of pygame required for this event. 

Some basic Python experience is recommended, but not required.
