A reason to play
Turn a room into a game night.
A song, a question, a few friends. Code can build a shared experience.

What if you
built it?
A game that brings people together. A place to practice. A tool that makes the next step easier. Code is another way to give an idea a shape.
There is so much I have built (100+ applications) so I decided to start with just a small sample.
Explore the buildsAn idea is a place to start.
Three different reasons to build.
One habit of asking: what could this make possible?
A reason to connect
Find what is happening around you.
A calendar can be more than a schedule. It can be an invitation.
Meet the buildA reason to try
Give the next idea a first version.
Gather a team, make a start, and keep learning from what you build.
Meet the buildWhat do you want to make possible?
A selection from our software workshop, grouped by the idea behind each build. Some are tools we keep using. Others are prototypes or questions we are still exploring. Open a project to see what is taking shape.

Try a proposed improvement, compare it with the current version, and keep a record of the evidence.
Inside the idea
The question
What if every improvement had to show its work?
The build

Building beyond the screen
What would you build for someone?
Think of one person, one thing that could be easier, and one small first version. That is a useful place to begin — with code, with bricks, or with a helping hand.
