Everything that happened at 2nd CodePen Meetup Brazil
This is a review for the second edition of CodePen Meetup Brazil, that happened in 2017, December 2nd, in São Paulo city.
In this second edition, we had Google Brazil’s infrastructure, Show & Tell with wonderful speakers that presented their CodePen creations, coffee, small-talk/networking, and a conceptual, narrated dojo.
Show & Tell: Fernanda Bernardo — Space Game
The first presentation was made by Fernanda Bernardo, a front-end developer at Elo7 and menthor at Training Center. She presented her Space Game, made only with CSS! You can check the pen here.
Show & Tell: Gisele Atadaime — CatMelo
The second presentation was made by Gisele Atadaime. She’s a student of Systems Analisys and Development at Fatec Sorocaba and although she is just starting her career, it’s rocking already.
Gisele presented CatMelo, a caramel cat made with CSS only and that applies animations & gradients concepts.
Show & Tell: Felipe do Espírito Santo — AR A-Frame
Felipe do Espírito Santo made the third presentation. He is a professor both at Fatec Taquaritinga and at Faculdade São Luís, besides being a volunteer web developer at Mozilla.
Felipe made a very nice pen about the meetup itself using a-frame, a browser-based virtual reality framework. His pen can be seen here (you’ll have to show this card to your webcam. hint: do it using your phone).
Show & Tell: Miguel Soares — CSS Circular Loaders
In the fourth Show & Tell, Miguel Soares presented 3 loaders made just with CSS.
In her presentation, she explained how simple can be to use animations and create loaders — So simple that she had time to show other pens and tell the public a little about her history.
Show & Tell: Maujor — Interactive Interface for CSS Testing
The last Show & Tell of the day was made by a very special person who was part of the early career of many front-end developers from Brazil.
We brought Maujor from Rio de Janeiro! He presented his pen about how to create an interactive interface for CSS testing. He showed some CSS concepts inside his pen and ended up making everyone surprised explaining how he didn’t use not even a single line of JavaScript.
Dojo
Dojo is a group activity to promote interaction between starters and experienced developers.
We had around 40 minutes of it and counted with ~25 pairs in 1.5min rounds.
Each pair was formed by someone who considered itself starter and also someone who considered itself more experienced with front-end.
This year, we had the dojo narrated to make the weather more fun. For this, we counted with Eduardo Matos, front-end developer and presenter of DevNaEstrada podcast.
The result of the dojo can be seen here. (yes, we made an egg that meows)
We’re extremely thankful to all the companies that made 2nd CodePen Meetup Brazil possible: CodeMiner42, Google Brasil, Media Temple and Mozilla.
We’re also specially thankful to our staff team that took care on all event operations:
- Beatriz Delmont — Checkin
- Caique Mitsuoka — Sound
- Felipe Inocêncio — Checkin
- Giulia Cardieri — Photography

The event lasted 5h long, had 5 presenters, was planned for 4 months and 40+ hours of organization. We counted with a 10 people staff, had 80 attendees, had a coffee-break&networking that lasted 40min. We also had the awesome Google Brazil infrastructure and a lot of prizes to be sorted and distributed to the public, that came directly from CodePen and also our sponsors.
This was the 2nd CodePen Meetup Brazil, a meetup where everyone shares knowledge, learns and got inspired in a very fun and creative way.
Once again, we can say our meetup was a success! :)
