🎉🎉 TODAY 🎉🎉

After last month’s dive into C++ 101, we’re back to The Paint Project.
If you’re new to WCCUG, we are building a paint style program (think Microsoft Paint or Mario Paint), using C++ as a big group project.

Together, we'll hack on the paint project and anyone who wants to work on it can either bring their laptops and feature-hack, or work on zoom and chat with us.

Participants should ideally come with an idea to work on, and we'll help each other out!

What you need to attend:
• A laptop with a compiler
• An idea to work on during the session.

Who Should Attend?
• Coding Enthusiasts
• Those interested in learning C++
• Folks who want to contribute to a Hackforge Project
