Check Your Receipts: How Do You Know Your Human Rights Topics + CodeLAB/OpenLAB

We use Deborah Meier's framework Five Habits of Mind to challenge learners to be objective and relevant about Human Rights issues we are each passionate about:

• Evidence: How do I know this?
• Perspective: Whose point of view is being left out?
• Connections: Is there a pattern?
• Alternative: What other solutions are possible?
• Significance: Who cares?

Don't just support Human Rights, understand why they matter.
Learn to understand what can be proven and what is worth considering. People want a Human Rights movement we can trust.

Let's be that change.

After the workshop a lab will be setup where folx can work on Human Rights or Coding learning until NOON Eastern time.

Our sessions are recorded so that as a team we can learn and do better.

Here are our group agreements:

• Assume best intentions
• Permission to be imperfect
• Avoid jargon
• Bring a spirit of curiosity
• Confidentiality: what happens here stays here. What’s learned here leaves here.
• Move Up, Move Up: Move up to speak, move up to listen
• Offer each other grace
• Acknowledge and apologize
• Call each other in as often as possible
• Have fun!

Looking forward to seeing you there!

This event is part of a morning open lab event.
After the training folx will be able to develop the work on their own.
Come join us for our other events too.

Walking into a Code Whatever event, you can expect to find a thoughtful group learning and working together on things that matter. One of us might be sharing a story about our grandma's command line computer skills and how that lead to our helping elders in Englewood with their old computers and phones. You can also just as much expect a lively conversation, a demonstration or an exploration. Or inquiries into the questions of software design. Need help? When you're ready, just ask.

Wherever you go, we ask: "what brings you here?"
We ask to learn what matters to you.
And help you as best as we can.

We also run Open Code Labs. Open Code Lab folx will be in the room all morning, so don't hesitate to ask facilitators any coding questions you might want help with. Here are just a few things you can do in the Open Code Lab:

• build your websites
• design accessible apps
• automate boring/repeated tasks
• make wanted and needed programs
• develop a career you love
• learn to teach: support ingenuity
• js, react, express, mongo, python, fp, sql
• professional skills: git, u/li|nix, deployment, tdd, security, interviews, challenges
