Monthly Mentorship Night: Hosted by BuzzFeed!

Join us for our monthly mentorship night, a networking mixer with 10 to 20 tech industry professionals who volunteer to answer questions and offer career advice! NON-TECHIES AND TOTAL BEGINNERS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME! You don't have to work in tech to attend our events.

BuzzFeed will be hosting our July mentorship night at their awesome office in Hollywood!

==================
What to bring:
==================
- (Optional) Your laptop, if you want to get some hands-on coding help!

- You’ll get the most out of this event if you come prepared with questions to ask!
(Anything from career advice, code-specific questions, comparing tools/technologies/languages, advice on learning to code, etc.)

==================
Agenda:
==================
- 7:00pm: Meet and greet time; optionally, play our custom Devs Against Humanity card game as an ice breaker!

- 7:30pm: Mentors will introduce themselves; community announcements

- 7:40pm: Break up into small groups to chat with mentors -- and if you brought your laptop, some mentors can help you with your coding questions too!
