Document best practices for running a live event based on a ProtoSchool tutorial

terichadbourne commented 4 years ago

Previously mentioned in #58 but breaking out into its own issue for better tracking.

We've had a request for a written resource to help folks understand best practices for teaching a ProtoSchool tutorial in a live face-to-face environment. It's important to point out that this is not a request about teaching any specific tutorial, nor about how to run a ProtoSchool chapter with multiple events over time, nor about how to teach other formats of content; it's just about turning the tutorials on our website into effective live experiences. (The scope would be narrower than the scope of the awesome community session from IPFS Camp.)

The tips provided should apply equally to folks who are leading longstanding educational groups over time (ProtoSchool chapters, IPFS meetups, etc.) and those who would like to run a live ProtoSchool workshop as a one-off at another event with a dweb connection, as happened at Web3. Guidance would cover issues such as:

How to run a ProtoSchool workshop
When to run one
Which one you should choose based on your audience
How skilled you have to be
Facilitation best practices
Ratio of guests to trainers
Who does what on site
How to encourage attendees to submit feedback on the tutorials via GitHub issues
FAQs
Anything you should bring, provide, print out, etc.

Some potential resources to reference while creating this written document:

Slides, video, repo from the community stewardship workshop at IPFS Camp 2019 (led by @nukemandan @kk3wong @stefanhans)
Discussion thread on planning your first ProtoSchool event
Resources page in this organizing repo, which includes info on CoC, stickers, slide deck templates, etc.

We're seeking volunteers for this task who have led multiple successful events using our coding tutorials as their main educational content. ❤️

I can't till the end of the month, setting a reminder on my end to take a stab at this. @terichadbourne - wanna assign me to this issue for further enforcement of me it getting done? :grin:

Happy to, @NukeManDan. Thanks so much for volunteering!

Hey @NukeManDan! Just checking in to see what your timeline looks like on this now that you've survived ETH Denver. Let me know if a chat would be helpful before you get started.

Hey, @NukeManDan. Just checking in as we get OKRs in order for Q2 and attempt to set reasonable expectations given our various distractions. Is this project one that you're still game to contribute to over the next month or two?

terichadbourne commented 4 years ago

Hey there @NukeManDan! Just checking in to see if this is something you're still interested in taking on.

Thanks for the ping @terichadbourne - is this still relevant in covid times? Might we want to outline online events instead - if so, I have yet to find a solid way to make this happen... Would be a shame to make a guide that is at best iffy, and worst, misleading vs. those that have found better ways.

Cleaning up old issues. Can this be closed and unassigned to me @terichadbourne :pray:
