What actually happens at a NodeSchool Seattle event?
-
NodeSchool Seattle events are an opportunity to hang out with other learners and mentors in a low stress, encouraging environment. Get set up to work on lessons with real industry tools on your own computer, at your own pace. A typical event follows this schedule:
- 1:00 - Doors open
- 1:15 - Introduction and opening announcements
- 1:40-5:00 - Learning/mentoring
- 3:00ish - Food!
- 5:00 - Event ends
-
What is a Focused Session?
- Focused Sessions happen during our NodeSchool events. While our general event is free-form and self-directed, our Focused Sessions are more of a lecture-style format led by a mentor on special topics. We don't always have Focused Sessions, so keep an eye on our website and Twitter for announcements!
-
How much does it cost to attend?
- NodeSchool Seattle is free! And open source!
-
How do I become a mentor?
-
We're always looking for people to volunteer to be mentors! We ask that prospective mentors:
- Have already completed the core NodeSchool workshoppers before the event.
- Having also completed some elective workshoppers is a great bonus.
- Review the Mentor Best Practices wiki page.
- Arrive 30 minutes early (12:30p) so we can get setup and have our mentor meeting.
- Sign up on the event's GitHub issue!
