@livash this is so exciting. Sent an email and cc'd @lilliealbert. Not to worry, we'll get you connected with a mentor.

aneyzberg commented 9 years ago

@livash please let me know what questions you may have. I can definitely help find a mentor as well :)

lilliealbert commented 9 years ago

@btelles & @ravasthi are two people who have made workshops happen on the peninsula in the past, so they would be great people to talk to.

ravasthi commented 9 years ago

@livash So glad to see that RailsBridge on the peninsula is still going. I'm happy to help however I can. Shall we set up a time to chat?

livash commented 9 years ago

Thank you guys for responding and being supportive.

Richa or Anna, could you help me with setting up a page on BridgeTroll announcing the event? The announcement will be very much similar to https://www.bridgetroll.org/events/131 . Somehow I can not find an option to post an event.

Richa, I would love to take you on an offer to setup time to chat. How about Thursday evening, July 2 (anytime after 5pm). I can give you a call or you can call me at 650-223-4453.

Thanks, Olena

@livash this url should help - https://www.bridgetroll.org/events/new - let me know if you have any questions :)

Hi Olena,

How about Thursday at 8pm PDT?

Couple of quick notes based on my past experience: I've typically had a harder time finding volunteers―especially teaching volunteers―for the peninsula RailsBridge workshops than I've seen happen in SF, so if you don't already have a bunch of volunteers lined up, I'd strongly recommend limiting signups until you have volunteers enough to cover students. I personally like to have one teaching volunteer (teacher or TA) per 5 students, to make sure everyone gets the attention they need, but you can realistically expect one volunteer to handle up to 10 students with reasonable comfort.

Anna, thanks for the link :)

Richa, How about Thursday at 8pm PDT sounds good.

About volunteers. I have already a list of Groupon Engineers who would like to volunteer as TAs. So I think I should be fine there. Groupon has an employee volunteer program, and in general people are eager to volunteer.

We can chat about it during the call.

Thanks, Olena
