Hey all,
It's that time -
we've started the third Bootcamp at NSS so we're getting the band back
together. And you all, as graduates of NSS, are now eligible to be mentors! I'm going to invite you all to join the mentor google group so watch for that message. But here's your first mentoring-related message!
Cohort 3 started last Monday, the 9th. They are
deeply into HTML/CSS and Git/Github and other fun stuff at this point
and they start Javascript next Monday. We're got a new lead instructor
who has been leading a Bootcamp at General Assembly in New York City -
his name is Chyld Medford and he's a local guy who moved back to
Nashville from NYC this past summer. We were lucky enough to be able to
get him on board at NSS!
It's about time for us to hold our
usual meeting to introduce the mentors and the students. We will be
meeting next Wednesday, 25 September. Session will be between 8am and
10am. We'll have coffee and pastries and such as in the past. Our
friends at RailYard Studios are loaning us the use of their studio again
so we'll all get another look at the cool furniture they've been
building. Please join us on the 25th and meet the 27 new students in
the third student cohort at NSS. It's a great group of students and
we've even got some furriners from alien places like England and
Chicago. You'll also get a chance to meet Chyld and hear some news
about our plans for the software school. So join us - Railyard Studios,
Wednesday, 25 September, 0800 - 1000. We'll post the address and other
logistical details on the group in the next couple of days.
Feel
free to share the word about the new class at Nashville Software School
and about the meetup on the 25th - we can always use some additional
mentors, speakers, etc. Help us get a good crowd of mentors to RailYard
Studios to meet the students.
John
