System Design Deep-Dive Workshop
Details
Join us for a hands-on, collaborative 5-hour system design workshop based on the comprehensive 7-lesson HelloInterview system design crash course (https://www.hellointerview.com/learn/system-design/in-a-hurry/introduction)
### Lesson Walkthroughs
We’ll work through the tutorial together:
- Spend 20 minutes reading each chapter individually
- Then take turns presenting a summary of the chapter to the group
This “read-and-teach” format helps reinforce concepts and build communication skills. - We take turns in being the person that presents the current chapter.
### 🛠 System Design Exercises
We’ll also tackle at least two real-world system design exercises. For each exercise:
- 15 minutes of individual design time
- 10 minute of presentations, feedback, and discussion
- we try to do 2-3 such rounds of "design then feedback" for each problem
- the design exercises are found in the tutorial (for example https://www.hellointerview.com/learn/system-design/problem-breakdowns/bitly)
### 🧑💻 Requirements
Participants should:
- Know how to code in at least one programming language
- Bring a laptop and charger (or have battery for 5 hours)
- Bring paper and pencils for sketching designs
These materials help you follow the lessons and articulate system diagrams effectively.
### 💬 Atmosphere & Logistics
The workshop is free, but please support the venue by purchasing a beverage. There will also be a 20 min pause, if you want to order snacks. Expect a friendly, collaborative environment where we learn by doing and improve together.
This workshop is for anyone preparing for technical interviews or looking to strengthen their architectural reasoning.
