Tutorial request for AngelHack Cincinnati

[tedmiston]

Hey guys,

I had a short conversation with Tara this morning about how presenting the Node School tutorial given at The Brandery last night (or another if you'd a different one more relevant) to our audience at AngelHack Cincinnati 2015 on Saturday, July 18.

We are flexible on timing on Saturday and would really like to have Modulus at the event. I can answer any questions here.

Thank you, Taylor

I think this is a great idea! @tedmiston check out this site (http://nodeschool.io/#javascripting) for all the different workshoppers we do (we did the intro one: learnyounode at the Brandery) and see if one seems more relevant to the crowd.

Personally earlier on Saturday works best for me (I have to head to Louisville for a show). Do you think there's a time in the schedule it would work better i.e. before the hackathon starts or after?

I'm so up for this, I'll see what other mentors are available and do you have an idea of what attendance looks like for AngelHack so far? I want to make sure that we keep the attendee:mentor ratio high balanced.

Workshop - I think either learnyounode or javascripting would be great. Roughly how long did it take to present?

Timing - We can flex the schedule to do it as early as 11:30 before the hackathon starts at noon, or we could adjust the hackathon start time slightly.

Attendance - As of right now we have 73 tickets sold (subtract 9 for judges), and we expect 50% attrition. Our goal is to get the total number up to 100-150 between now and the event. One or two mentors would be great, but more help is always awesome.

Jay Clouse, who is very active at Startup Weekend events in Columbus / working at Tixers, will also be mentoring on Saturday. Anyone is welcome to come out for final presentations on Sunday as well.

@tedmiston The workshop runs for a maximum of two hours before people start getting burned out. One hour is a good amount of time to get people going - the workshops are doable solo.

I remember last year's AngelHack had really short sessions (I ended up in the famous session with Ry) which may not be enough time to get in super deep. That said, maybe we could do the learnyounode or stream-adventure both of which get into fun stuff pretty quickly.

@robertBrown send me an email about being a mentor :)

[tedmiston]

@fiveisprime Yeah, one hour would be great. I think last year's were half hour or one hour (@ryw might remember)?

Both sound cool. Which one do you think would be more accessible for an audience with a decent amount of students and entry-level devs?

[fiveisprime]

Sounds like learnyounode would be best then.

I'll create a new issue for the event so we can start planning things.

Thanks!

[tedmiston]

Awesome. Thanks, Matt.

Pretty sure Gerard did an hour on Meteor - but was that two years ago? I'd stick to 30-40 minutes max.
