What actually happens at a NodeSchool East Bay event?

NodeSchool East Bay events are an opportunity to hang out with other learners and mentors in a low stress, encouraging environment. Instead of the usual follow-along, presentation-driven workshops, learners can either work on self-paced workshoppers or hack on their own side projects. There isn't a structured “curriculum” which must be followed.

A typical event follows this schedule:

• 1:00 - Doors open
• 1:15 - Introduction and opening announcements
• 1:30-5:00 - Learning/mentoring
• 3:00ish - Pizza! 🍕
• 5:00 - Event ends

What does it cost to attend?

NodeSchool East Bay free!

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.!
