<h3>How to come prepared</h3>
<p>Many of the activities at Hack the Future require that you have some
software program installed on your computer. You will get the most out
of the day if this is already pre-installed, and you don't have to do
this on the day of the event. Maybe you want to check it out beforehand,
and you'll already have ideas for a project, or questions for us?
</p>
<h4>Unity 3D</h4>
<p>
Unity is a professional 3D game development tool for Windows and macOS.
First-time users should use the standalone installer. Unity Hub is a newer
tool to manage multiple versions of the Unity Editor. If you choose
Unity Hub, after initial installation go to the <i>Installs</i>
tab to download a recent version. This is one of our largest downloads.
</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://unity3d.com/get-unity/download/archive">Download Unity standalone</a></li>
<li>or <a href="http://unity3d.com/get-unity/download">Download Unity Hub</a></li>
<li>Read tutorials on <a href="http://unityversity.com">Gamebridge Unityversity</a></li>
</ul>
<h4>3D Printing</h4>
<p>
We have some 3D printers that will print anything you can design.
SketchUp is a simple modeling program that lets you create your own
printable objects.
</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.sketchup.com/download">Download SketchUp</a></li>
</ul>
<h4>Python</h4>
<p>
Python comes preinstalled on macOS, but typically without an integrated
developer environment (IDE).
IDLE is an IDE bundled with Python's main distribution for
Windows or macOS.
</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.python.org/downloads/">Download Python 3</a></li>
</ul>
<h4>iOS Apps</h4>
<p>
Swift is an open-source language for first-class development of
iOS applications. Xcode is by far the largest and longest
software installation, so consider getting this ready prior to
Hack the Future.
</p>
<ul>
<li>MacBook users: Download <a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/xcode/id497799835?mt=12">Xcode</a> from the Mac App Store</li>
</ul>
<h4>Greenfoot</h4>
<p>
Greenfoot is an interactive Java development environment designed
primarily for educational purposes. It allows easy development of
two-dimensional graphical applications such as games.
</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html">Download Java JDK</a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.greenfoot.org/download">Download Greenfoot</a></li>
</ul>
<h4>Minecraft Mods</h4>
<p>
Minecraft mods are often built using the Forge framework. Both Minecraft and
Forge are written in Java and require Java 8 (will not work
with Java 9 and above).
You should also install an IDE.
</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html">Download Java JDK 8</a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/#chooseYourEdition">Download IntelliJ IDEA</a> Community Edition</li>
<li><a href="https://github.com/hackthefuture/station-minecraft-mod">Read the Minecraft station GitHub page</a>
</ul>
<h4>Arduino</h4>
<p>
The Arduino is a small microcontroller board for electronics projects.
To program it, you should install the open-source development
environment.
</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://arduino.cc/en/Main/Software">Download Arduino IDE</a></li>
</ul>
<h4>Raspberry Pi</h4>
<p>
Raspberry Pi is a series of single-board computers designed for teaching
software and hardware from the ground up. Linux and macOS are set up to
interface with a Pi, while Windows benefits from terminal software.
Minecraft: Pi Edition is a version of Minecraft developed for educational
purposes which can be controlled via the <tt>mcpi</tt> package for Python 2.

<li><a href="https://github.com/hackthefuture/station-raspberry-pi">Read the Raspberry Pi station GitHub page</a>
</ul>
<h4>micro:bit</h4>
<p>
The BBC micro:bit is a microcontroller board that comes with web-based block
programming, MicroPython, built-in accelerometers, Bluetooth support, and
other "batteries included". PuTTY or other terminal software is helpful for
MicroPython, while block-based programming can be done entirely in the browser.
</p>

</ul>
<h4>Scratch/Snap!</h4>
<p>
Scratch is a simple programming environment from MIT that lets you
create interactive games, stories, and animations. Scratch 2.0 is
built on Flash Player which comes bundled with some modern browsers.
Snap! is built on modern web standards, adds more features, and
can import Scratch 2.0 projects.
</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/">Download Chrome</a> if not already installed</li>

<h4>Webpages and JavaScript</h4>
<p>
If your goal is to create a webpage or a JavaScript game, a text editor
and a browser are all you need to get started.
