Events

 will pose mind-blowing questions about life, the universe, and everything in between. Just kidding - they're not 

 serious. But, they do want to hear about your ambitions, ideas, and challenges learning to code.

Bob and Alex will pose thought-provoking questions then split you into small Zoom rooms (3-4 people) to discuss.

After a few minutes, you'll reconvene and nominate one person from your group to share your answer with Bob, Alex, and everyone else on the call.

Bob and Alex will pose a new question then split you into a new room.

CV review with Jermaine Jupiter 

On March 1, we are hosting x4 30 minute sessions to accommodate you no matter your timezone.

At the very least, you'll find Alex from Scrimba in the session. Together, you'll set a clear goal for the month (this month I will...) and Alex will document your goal and name in a public spreadsheet. Now you have something to work towards and a healthy dollop of accountability :) The cool thing is, if you notice you and someone else are working on a similar task, you can request to connect.

Remember to post your progress every day (or most days - that is okay too!) in this event's "parent" Discord channel

To protect your privacy, we won't share your email or Discord username in the spreadsheet if you don't want us to. We can also obscure your name using an acronym like John D instead of John D, for example.

This month I will...

 If you have a specific coding problem, framework dilemma, or are in need career advice, someone will their best to help you one-on-one! 

If you have even a little coding or career experience and a desire to help, we want you to come and help out too. Seriously! Did you know that, no matter how “inexperienced” you might feel, there’s ALWAYS someone behind you. No one expects you to be a whiz, you just need a willingness to help and solve problems together.

Get help, give help

Alex Booker from Scrimba will be joined by Leanne and Per to discuss what barriers you will likely face as a developer without a computer science degree and how to SMASH them with proven (although seeming unathorox) job-hunting strategies. We will also touch on some job interview red flags.

This will all take place in the #stage channel, which is a new type of Discord channel! Stages are for audio-only conversations where some people can talk and others can listen as the audience. You'll be invited to "raise your hand ✋" if you want to join the discussion!  We cannot wait!
