We have Parrot Minidrones you can fly with Go code to control them using their built-in Bluetooth API.
Post in-flight videos using hashtag #gopherconeu
Ready for takeoff? Go to ./drone/minidrone/.
Along for the ride, we brought a couple of WowWee MiP two-wheeled self-balancing robots that you control using Bluetooth.

Looking for the true "parts experience"? Got you covered! We have brought some Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect IoT microcontroller boards for each person to use for the activity.
https://store.arduino.cc/collections/boards/products/arduino-nano-rp2040-connect
These can be programmed using TinyGo.
There are some Grove sensor kits that you can use for the activity.
Ready to try this out? Go to ./sensor/arduino/ to get started.
Make your own electronic musical instruments using TinyGo and the Raspberry Pi Nano boards.
Thanks to the USB-MIDI support, you can turn your board into a tiny digital musical instrument controller.
Add buttons, sliders, a joystick, and when we say become part of the music we mean it!
Let's make beautiful music together, just go to ./musicjam/.
We have some additional bounties and prizes, you can see more information here.
Return all borrowed materials and hardware, so the next Gopher can enjoy the session too.
