+# demoNights (NAT)
 
-This repository hosts the code and resources for Demo Nights, a recurring event series by NAT.
+> Hands-on demo events by **NAT** — from hardware hacks to software experiments. Build it. Show it. Inspire others.
+> 
+---
 
-Each Demo Night features hands-on projects built with emerging technologies — ranging from hardware demos to software experiments. This repo serves as a central location where all code and instructions for each demo can be found.
+## What is this?

-**What are Demo Nights?**
+Start here → [`./demoNights/`](./demoNights/)
 
-Demo Nights are events organized by NAT where members or participants showcase small hands-on projects or demonstrations — often with emerging tech, sensors, bio-tech, wearables, etc.
+---
 
-They are meant to be learning/sharing events: you build something, show it, explain it, get feedback, inspire others.
+## What are Demo Nights?
 
-They often involve making new interactive hardware, exploring sensors, etc.
