Turing School [http://turing.io] of Software & Design is excited to
offer virtual Try CODING WORKSHOPS. These ONLINE CLASSES ARE A GREAT
WAY FOR ANYONE INTERESTED IN PROGRAMMING TO LEARN MORE ABOUT SOFTWARE
DEVELOPMENT.
Each class will have one Turing instructor and two teaching assistants
in the virtual classroom who will guide you and other attendees
through a structured curriculum where you will write code on your own
and collaboratively with other students.
*Please note, there is an additional pre-work requirement
[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_vrY2v1Ll9X7dJfHUyNdrQOduc9qobQ_7ezKGbGHZS8/edit]
of at least 30 minutes to prepare for these virtual sessions. In the
three days leading up to your class, you will have access to one of
our Teaching Assistants to ask any questions about the assigned work.
WORKSHOP OVERVIEW This is a fast-paced, beginner level course in
Front-End Engineering. Front-End Developers focus on the user
experience and visual interface of a website or application. You'll
get a taste of what a front-end developer does and learn how you can
turn an interest in learning to code into a new career.
You should be comfortable with navigating the basic operations of a
computer; you will be expected to use the following skills: typing,
copying and pasting text, navigating the internet through a browser,
and conversing via a video chat.
Schedule:

FAQ

1. How will I connect to the virtual session?
You will need a computer for this class that can connect to the
internet and operate Zoom [https://zoom.us/]. When we send a pre-work
reminder for the class we will send specific information on how to
connect to the Zoom classroom we will be using. We recommend that you
download Zoom now to ensure it is compatible with your computer.
2. When will I receive the pre-work for class? What if I have
questions about pre-work?
Prework for this class can be found here
[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_vrY2v1Ll9X7dJfHUyNdrQOduc9qobQ_7ezKGbGHZS8/edit].
Your instructor will also send a reminder about pre-work for the
online class 3 days before class begins. At that time, they will also
send the contact information of our Teaching Assistants (TA's). TA's
will be available to answer any and all questions about pre-work and
support you before class begins.
3. I registered for the class within 3 days before it's start date-
will I have enough time to prep and complete the pre-work before
class?
Depending on your schedule- yes! We recommend reserving 60 mintues to
complete the pre-work. Technically, you could register day of at 9
a.m., complete the pre-work from 9 a.m. - 10 a.m. and join us at 10
a.m. when class starts. However, this option wouldn't give you access
to our Teaching Assistants if you had questions, so we suggest
registering at least 1-2 days before the start date.
4. What equipment should I have for this online class?
A computer that can connect to the internet via a web browser. We
recommend using headphones to minimize distractions and ensure you can
access the information. It will also be beneficial to find a quiet
working space where you will be able to focus during the duration of
the course.
5. I want to attend but I can't afford it. Are there any scholarships
available?
We are offering scholarships on a limited basis for students with
financial need. Please contact anna@turing.io for more information.
6. Are kids welcome?
This is a course designed for professional level adults and is not
designed for kids. We ask that individuals under age 17 do not
register to attend.
7. I’ve already practiced some code as a hobby or through Codecademy
- will I still benefit from this course?
This course is designed for people who are brand new to code and have
never tried it before. That doesn’t mean that those with some
experience aren’t welcome or will not benefit from it, but some
parts may be a review. If you are interested in a more advanced, Try
CODING 2.0 WORKSHOP, please complete this interest
form: http://bit.ly/2Tuhw13 [http://bit.ly/2Tuhw13] and will keep
you updated once it is scheduled.
8. What is the refund policy?
If for any reason you can’t make it to the event, tickets are
refundable up to 24 hours before. If the event has passed then we are
