Get On With It! Bring Your Own Project

It's a strange time at the moment: most of us are at home 23 hours a day. We're all looking for ways to break the monotony, but somehow the pile of unfinished or unstarted projects seems no more appealing than it did before the lockdown...

If there's stuff you want to get started, finished or make progress on, but are struggling for motivation, join us this Wednesday 15th April. We'll get together to share what we're doing, cheer each other on and generally support each other to kick-start some momentum.

We ran our first one of these very successfully at the weekend, so this event is back by popular demand.

Examples of things people worked on in the last session:

• Studying for Scrum exams
• A new CV after changing career from graphic designer to software engineer
• Blog posts
• New personal portfolio website
• Rebricking Lego
• An app to help children to be healthy
• Debugging our existing apps
• Migrating our websites
• Taking a course about accessibility

The structure of the session will be as follows. Feel free to join us for 6pm or 7.15pm and stay for half the evening or the whole thing:

From 5.50pm: Log into Zoom, grab a drink, relax.

6.00pm: On Zoom: Welcome from LoC's Suze, Sarah and Anna.

6.05pm: Tell us what you want to work on tonight. Type it in the chat or switch on your video camera and talk about it :)
