Mentors Preparation

based on Robert's experience

Important

Respect the Code of Conduct
- means: ngGirls is no dating platform, avoid sexists jokes or comments, every culture and religion is welcome => respect each other

Most important goal of the workshop is empowerment
- Make your attendees happy, welcomed and feel good of being a developer
- Share your experiences and learnings from your career path
- Offer help

You learn together
- You will get unexpected questions, have the challenge to describe stuff in a easy way, learn about yourself
- Show your attendees that you learn too
You don't always have to be there
- At some point the attendees can also help each other
Show them the basic skills of a modern developer
- help, google, ask, struggle, debug & learn together
- find a solution together
Not all attendees reach the final part
- IT'S OK, because they should learn, network and have fun while developing
- Provide help to finish the tutorial at home
If they solved the tutorial let them go further with simple other tasks

Try to describe from the view of an unknown participant
- use easy to understand pictures (e.g. every part of the body is a component)
Nodding and smiling doesn't mean that they have understood it
- sometime cultural issues prevent from asking
- ask questions to check the understanding

In online workshop it is recommended to keep interacting
maybe give your attendees little customizing tasks for the tutorial
feel free to use your own video conferencing tool, when you work in groups:
- e.g. https://meet.jit.si/

This tutorial is not perfect
- not everything is an instruction, sometimes its just for trying out
- take care that they see the CLI commands page (will be sometimes overseen)
pull requests are welcome
- but its also good if not everything is perfect (helps struggling)
Sometimes a restart of the CLI helps if nothing works
On github you find the solution of the tutorial
If its not possible to install the CLI on the laptop, just use stackblitz.com
- Don't waste too much time for installations, maybe just ask us organizers
