Seattle Code & Coffee @ Capital One Café

NOTE: Please read description on free parking, free catering options and coffee! Please RSVP to secure your spot and help us get an accurate count on coffee.

Code and Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people bring projects to work on, and many other people socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you!

The Intro Circle
Around 30 minutes into the event (12:30 pm), we will do a standup in a circle.
Round 1:

• Your name
• Your occupation/professional interests
• What would you like help with?

Round 2:

• Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool.
• Community events you wanna plug.

After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized. Tech Workshops will be hosted in the nearby meeting rooms (details below).

Tech Workshops
We offer the following workshops after the intro circle. These are free for all and hosted by friends/volunteers at C&C! If you have specialty knowledge you'd like to share, or wish to find an audience for your tech talk, please reach out to any of our volunteers or @ us on discord!
