- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Q's & A's:
- Details:
- Projects must be submitted by 9:30AM wednesday. All groups will Demo only functionality 2-7 minutes in front of group.
- Judges will have from Noon-2:30/3PM to review code and fill out scorecards, determine winners.
- Specs being turned in by 4:30PM monday.
- How do we make teams and what are their size and demographic requirements?
- A: People make their own team, if folks have an idea monday they can announce it and
- seek folks to join their team. Teams can be any size (?) but we suggest 3-4. Every team must have at least one woman / non-binary
- POC learner on the team.
- How do we score the teams?
- A: Judges will have rubric ready by Monday Noon for MVP.
- Who are the judges?
- A: Di, Dev, and Monica.
- What will the folks from levels 1-2 who do not want to work on the hack-a-thon do?
- A: Di will be doing small full-stack projects or one 3 day project with them in teams/pairs.
- What if a level 3+ learner does not want to participate?
- A: Incentivize participation with food?
- What is the theme or topic of the hack-a-thon, or is it open-ended?
- A: There are not enough women at the guild, and even still, women are disproprtionately moving
- through the phases slower. Also, given the recent and only like a (few) thousand years too late focus on
- sexual harassment/assualt/discrimination it is crucial to walk the walk on supporting women in tech.
- Design an app with this prompt in mind: "If a woman interested in joining the guild heard the learners
- here were working on / built _________ , she would want to join the guild".
- Ideas: Bonus points if follow prompt but not required. Frame prompt not for "women's issues" but instead an app
- that says to the world "Learners at the guild care about inclusion".
- * What are the prizes?
- A: Either multiple of same thing or shareable.
- * Are we still doing things like stand-up after Monday?
- A:
