What  can  you  do?  Are  you  frustrated  in  your  job?  

Don’t  get  the  chance  to  do  the  work  you  would  love  to?    

Want  a  chance  to  play  in  this  space  that  you  love?  

Your  Assignment  from  tonight  is  “Stop  Talking  and  Do  It”  Your  chance  to  give  back  .    

What's  in  it  for  Me?  It's  your  chance  to  learn.  

Figure  out  a  personal  passion  project.  Something  you  love,  something  that  will  make  a  difference  and  something  where  you  can  use  digital  tools  to  make  it  happen.    

Now  gather  a  team  of  mates,  work  collaboraKvely  with  the  best  people  you  know.  

Use  the  bleeding  edge  plaMorms.  Try  them  out.  You  have  nobody  tell  you  what  to  do.  

So  what  is  stopping  you?
