The Tessel 2 is an open-source hardware and software platform that can be programmed with JavaScript out of the box! Johnny-Five is a JavaScript robotics and IoT library, like jQuery for hardware. Bringing those 2 pieces together is one of the greatest ways to start building your very first electronics project!
Using the materials in the Johnny-Five Inventor's Kit, https://www.sparkfun.com/products/13847, workshop attendees will go from blinking an LED to building a web-connected services for monitoring a sensor of their choosing.

Having a knowledge of JavaScript and Node will be helpful for working with the web-service parts of the workshop but not directly required for attending.
