MS Paint Bob Ross

Presented to you by Mary from MLH

MS Paint Bob Ross is MLH's new favourite mini-event and hopefully yours too. You’ll be watching a Bob Ross video alongside hackers and creating a masterpiece.

Pro Tips

• You should paint something alongside the hackers and Bob Ross. You get to participate too.

• Regularly check in with folks and schmooze a bit. This should be a silly interactive stream.

• Make sure hackers know they’re going to post their creations at the end.

Setup

• Make sure you’re logged into the appropriate Zoom account

• Head to https://www.twitch.tv/bobross/videos

• Open up https://jspaint.app/

• Find a video to use for your event. Your choice!

Running the Event

• Share the video you selected with hackers and ask them to queue up the video.

• Have hackers open up https://jspaint.app/ or the paint application of their choice.

• Share your screen so hackers can see you painting if they’d like to.

• Do a countdown for the video and have everyone follow along together.

• At the end, have hackers take turns sharing their screens to showcase their work or consider posting them in a public channel of some sort!
