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 Sunday 19th 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.

Examples of things people worked on in the last session:

• Studying for a data streaming nanodegree
• Debugging an open source app
• Improving a Python/Github profiles/Redis side project
• Setting up a new Raspberry Pi with Node-RED
• Learning about web scraping with Python
• Writing a blog post
• Refactoring a React Hooks project
• Organising some meetup notes to share with colleagues
• Updating a portfolio site to include tech projects

The structure of the session will be as follows. Feel free to join us at 2pm and dip in and out as it suits you:

From 1.50pm: Log into Zoom, grab a drink, relax.
