About This Workshop
We hear it all the time: “Know what you want.” If it were that easy to figure out there wouldn’t be such a high disengagement rate among skilled workforce. Engineers are great at designing solutions to problems, but not so good at designing a meaningful career. A career management mindset is the key to a fulfilling career and building one starts with increasing awareness and making conscious choices. Awareness is the key when it comes to creating something new: building a vision or launching a business or designing a career all starts with knowing your values and what you want.
Students will get sensory-rich perspectives of different work environments in different industries where engineering work takes place to prepare them for the meditative visualization. While learning about the great benefits of daily meditation, students will engage in guided meditative visualization to let their subconscious mind guide them in understanding what they want to experience during their engineering career. Following the goal setting exercise students will create a baseline vision board that can serve as the basis of further career planning.
Code Fellows

https://www.eventbrite.com/e/seattle-campus-inside-and-out-object-oriented-prog-may-2016-tickets-24199894536?aff=meetup
Computers have become a part of everyone's day to day life. The mechanics of making computers work, however, are rather abstract. Object Oriented Paradigm, or Programming, (aka OOP) is a methodology through which the abstract becomes nearly tangible - machine language is translated into easier to understand objects and methods.
OOP is one of the most powerful, popular, effective and efficient programming technique used by many programming languages to interact with the computer. Siva Dopasati will share the true essence of OOP and how using this technique can enable you to engineer and program effectively. Siva will cover:
- Why/What OOP
- Understanding Classes and Objects
- Different principles of OOP (Encapsulation, Abstraction, Inheritance & Polymorphism)

There's a shortage of devs out there. Every organization is craving more trained devs to fill the void. Yet, despite the need, developers aren't immune to getting fired. Mistakes from miscommunication to missing deadlines leave experienced devs outside, pounding the pavement, seeking work. Join us with Rob Adams as he shares his experiences of being on both sides of the board room table in these situations, and how to avoid these critical mistakes yourself.
Speaker
Rob Adams has over twenty years of experience with technology architecture and strategy coupled with over fifteen years of strategic, global venture investing, entrepreneur & start up mentoring and strategic partnership building and governance. His work has included being an angel and early stage investor and providing diligence and guidance on over forty mergers and acquisitions. Currently, he is the owner and managing director at Startup Arts and XTT Consulting LLC. Previously, he was a mentor and advisor at 9Mile Labs and a Sr. Director of Corporate Development at Cisco Systems.
GA Seattle
1218 Third Ave Seattle , WA 98101 , Seattle, WA
https://generalassemb.ly/education/coding-for-beginners-html-and-css/seattle/23770
HTML and CSS are the fundamental building blocks of the web. Whether you're a beginner who wants to get started in web development, a designer looking to hand-code their concepts, or a marketer who wants a little more control over their CMS, you'll need to know HTML and CSS to get the job done.
This session, designed for the beginner programmer, will assume no previous coding knowledge. We'll go over key coding terminology and principles, introduce languages like HTML and CSS—what their functions are, how they work together—and use that new knowledge to write our own code and develop our own simple site.
