September 6 Front End + Javascript Workshop

[rachelmyers]

A few months out:

• [ ] Find a venue and sponsor for the workshop. This workshop covers HTML, CSS, and an intro to JavaScript. Sponsoring the workshop costs between $400 and $900, depending on the size of the workshop.
• [ ] Find two co-organizers. It's a lot of work, but always a lot of fun. No experience necessary; checkout the workshop cookbook if it's new to you. (Also, we match up first time organizers with mentors.)

Just leave a comment below if you're able to host, sponsor or organize! :smile_cat:

Once we have a venue/sponsor and organizers, we can:

• [ ] Work together to set an RSVP limit that works for everyone
• [ ] Post the workshop to Bridge Troll
• [ ] Post the workshop to Meetup.
• [ ] Make sure the javascript curriculum is easily accessible from the rest of the curriculum

One to two weeks out, we can:

• [ ] Plan a teacher training
• [ ] Order breakfast
• [ ] Order lunch
• [ ] Find a good place for the afterparty

After the workshop, we can:

• [ ] Party! :tada:
• [ ] Retro

Hi! Just letting you know that I'd like to organize the Sept. 6 front-end workshop!

@keomany so awesome Holly!

Hi, I'd like to organize the Sept.6 workshop as well! I can also do the rails one on Sept.28 if you need more people.

@rachelmyers, can you add @missherico to the editors permission group so she can edit labels and such?

[missherico]

@keomany @klq awesome ladies! I will be your workshop mentor. We will get permissions to edit this thread as well. Feel free to look at the cookbook - https://github.com/railsbridge/docs/wiki/Cookbook We will also speak off-thread via email, and in the meantime, attend the workshops you can. We will also shadow a workshop prior to Sept. Best, Isa

Adding @missherico to @railsbridge/organizers :thumbsup:

But a heads up that I changed the settings so y'all don't have to ping me for each new organizer; now anyone on the @railsbridge/organizers team can add more people to the team by adding their username here.

( Because :star: :fish: )

Thanks Rachel! It occurred to me that I probably had permissions after I posted, but I was not able to find them :)

We (MakerSquare) will be hosting a workshop in July and we should be able to provide a venue for the workshop in August as well. We can accommodate ~75 people.

[shahshaan]

@missherico that's correct. We should be able to host the venue for this weekend.

[sidhene]

I am writing the follow up email to this weekends' students and want to point them at events that need organizers. I gather @keomany and @klq are co-organizers for this event?
