Tiered Sessions by Color - 2hr Workshops #2

Open nesquena opened 10 years ago

nesquena commented 10 years ago

One idea we had was to create tiered 2-hour app sessions /cc @Wapples @nidhi1608 . In other words, have different hands-on sessions for different experience levels labeled by "color". For example, we could have the following colors:

Color Short Long
blue Totally New to Programming Never programmed, don't understand variables or arrays
green No Android Experience Basic programing knowledge, understands variables, methods
gold Some Android Experience Done basic apps and basic concepts (i.e Todo) but not much else
orange Moderate Android Experience Built a few basic apps, understand architecture, getting more comfortable
purple Looking for Intermediate Android Content Build many basic apps and looking for more intermediate content

Then we could have 2-hour sessions and other events linked to these colors. For example:

Thoughts?

Also preparing to hold tiered 1-day workshops? Should that conversation be under its own Issue# as 'Tiered Sessions by Color - 1 Day Workshop' and this issue be renamed to 'Tiered Sessions by Color - 2hr'? Or can these be developed under the same issue - this one?

@kmolo good suggestion, I've split this into two issues.
