Hey there, fellow learner/developer/person/android/teacher/it professional/code monkey/awesome guy or girl.

We prepared something Google-sized for you, yes you! Because we truly believe that you can do it, you can do things that you've never done before, and even more importantly, you will just do something.

So that is our wish in giving you this event, and even giving ourselves this event, make something new, something with a new technology, something with a new engine, something that you don't even know how and you'll probably fail in the process, just make something we beg you, make new mistakes, make Google-sized mistakes, make mistakes nobody's ever made before, but don't stop, don't worry if it isn't good enough, or it isn't perfect, don't freeze... you are making something.

After all, the best way to predict the future is to code it.
