It’s October!
This months theme is Imagination and in that vein, how can we be more imaginative in the work we do?
That’s why we’re starting Community Empowerment through Education as a new pilot.
What’s that mean? It means it’s a community focused effort that’s designed to help you find Ingenuity , Creativity, Perseverance through practical application of skills.
We’re focusing on learning technical skills
Let’s talk about what makes a good learner persona for these workshops
You enjoy learning along side others to keep yourself motivated while understanding different perspectives.
You want to experience live demonstrations and immediate application of concepts. You want to learn from instructors who can bridge the gap between front-end and back-end development.
You appreciate having access to mentors and peers who can help navigate challenges.
Technical Skills:
- Programming Languages: None professionally, basic Python from online courses
- Tools: Project management software like Asana and Trello
- Version Control: No experience
