# Zero To Mastery Hacktoberfest Projects

This event is a super popular event throughout the Zero To Mastery community, with over 800 pull requests made to the [three projects](https://github.com/zero-to-mastery/coding_challenge-22) available last year. With 2018 seeing a combined total of 494 Pull Requests, from over 200 collaborators! Let's smash that record this year with our massive ZTM family!

**Following their success, we are excited to announce 3 brand new projects for this year's Hacktoberfest:**

#### [![Canvas Creations](https://img.shields.io/badge/CSS%20PROJECT-Canvas%20Creations-yellow?style=for-the-badge&logo=CSS3)](https://github.com/zero-to-mastery/Canvas-Creations)

Your favourite annual creative challenge for Hacktoberfest is here! We will once again be showcasing the creative talents of our ZTM students, this time using the HTML <canvas> element.

#### [![KEIKO CORP](https://img.shields.io/badge/HTML%20PROJECT-KEIKO%20CORP-critical?style=for-the-badge&logo=HTML5)](https://github.com/zero-to-mastery/Keiko-Corp)

Welcome to this years HTML challenge for Hacktoberfest, a project with beginners and aspiring developers in mind, utilizing HTML, CSS & maybe a dash of JavaScript to achieve a simplistic yet elegant website for the greatest start up of all time; Keiko Corp.

##### PROJECT BRIEF

> Bruno has put together a quick Froala mockup to demonstrate the layout and simplistic design they are looking for. Although Bruno did request the website be as immaculate and as impressive as his hair, the design is totally open to interpretation and modification during the first iteration of development.

#### [![ASCII ART](https://img.shields.io/badge/PYTHON%20PROJECT-ASCII%20ART-blue?style=for-the-badge&logo=Python)](https://github.com/zero-to-mastery/ascii-art)

Welcome to this years Python challenge for Hacktoberfest, A project with beginners and aspiring developers in mind, utilizing Python to convert images into ASCII Art.

ASCII art is a graphic design technique that uses computers for presentation and consists of pictures pieced together from the 95 printable characters defined by the ASCII Standard from 1963 and ASCII compliant character sets with proprietary extended characters.

##### PROJECT BRIEF

> Let's see how we can evolve the ASCII generator with our ZTM community help!! Maybe we want to display this on an HTML web page where users can submit images and we convert it to ASCII art? Maybe we want to improve how the Command Line Tool works/make it more customizeable? Or maybe modify the script to do many other types of art beyond ASCII.

The options are endless and there is no wrong answer. This is all for fun, so try to customize the tool whichever way you think would be best and let's see what we get at the end of the month! Enjoy!

# But how do I make a pull request/participate?

> If you've never made a pull request before, or participated in an open-source project, we recommend taking a look at our [Start Here Guidelines](https://github.com/zero-to-mastery/start-here-guidelines). This repo has everything you need to learn about open-source, with a step-by-step guide to making your very first PR.
> Once you've got your feet wet, you're ready to come back and dive into Hacktoberfest fun!

# What happens after I make a pull request?

Simply speaking, your work is done. You can continue working and making pull requests on the same repo or work on something new.

Meanwhile, Hacktoberfest keeps track of all your pull requests. And, as mentioned above, you'll be eligible to get the Hacktoberfest shirt once you successfully make 4 pull requests.

> Some repositories are ineligible for Hacktoberfest as they aren't up to the mark with the event's values. You can find all **Zero To Mastery** repositories that are eligible for the event [here](https://github.com/search?q=topic%3Ahacktoberfest+org%3Azero-to-mastery+fork%3Atrue).

**Remember, you only need to make 4 pull requests to one of these open source projects in the month of October, and you get an awesome Hacktoberfest shirt! Let's see if we can beat the record from last year!!**
