Upcoming events (4+)
See all- Tech Roulette: Full Stack from Scratch...Build a Web-Driven Car!The Innovation Hub, Dayton, OH
đź’» Curious about full-stack development but unsure where to start? Want to actually build something instead of just watching slides? This workshop is for you.
In this beginner-friendly, hands-on session, Mike Chase will take us through a well-paced, practical approach to understanding full-stack development by having attendees build a simple web-based car that drives on a road, no frameworks, no libraries, just raw HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
🚗 Whether you’re a total beginner or a curious developer, you’ll walk away with a better grasp of how front-end and back-end technologies connect. You'll also get a sneak peek into tools like Node.js, APIs, and Linux hosting.
🛠️ What to expect:
- A quick overview of how the web works (HTML, CSS, JS, and how they talk to servers)
- A large portion of time focused on a hands-on exercise: follow along or experiment freely
- A wrap-up discussion on full-stack tools like Node.js, databases, APIs, and more
✍️ We’ll also have printed code booklets, so you don’t have to worry about keeping up with every line — this is about conceptual understanding and having fun with code.
👉 Bring your laptop and an open mind. If there's enough interest, we'll host a Part 2 with more advanced topics like neural networks and AI integrations!
We look forward to seeing you there!

A monthly hacker meet-up with a focus on hands on keyboard skill development. Our mission is to provide a community for educating and expanding the offensive cybersecurity industry in the Dayton area.We spin up simulated corporate environments with built in vulnerabilities to teach and expose our attendees to offensive security/red teaming/penetration testing.
