CodeLab: Pair Programming + Open Source Holiday Edition!

❄️ Holiday Potluck Edition ❄️

We're a group for programmers of all levels and backgrounds getting together to learn and build coding projects. Whether you're learning to code for the first time or an experienced programmer learning a new programming language, all ages and levels are welcome.

Bring a laptop, charger, project you're working on or ideas for projects you'd like to build, curiosity for code, and openness to learn together!

Fill out the intro survey (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdl-GAKJor_YcPfZWbCpim3RW9n-FOdSsUJXdh8PnLDSc2vdQ/viewform?c=0&w=1) to help us get to know you and your goals. Check in by leaving a comment in our GitHub issue (https://github.com/codelaboc/hellocodelab/issues) and follow our Slack (https://codelaboc.herokuapp.com/) and Twitter (https://twitter.com/codelaboc) for updates and resources!
