If you already have experience with Python, please consider helping out at the sessions as a mentor. Being a mentor will involve working with participants and talking them through the challenges they encounter in programming. No special preparation is required. And we’ll feed you! Because we want to keep a very high mentor to student ratio, recruiting more mentors means we can accept more participants. If you’re interested, email [mailto:makohill@uw.edu makohill@uw.edu]. Also, thank you, thank you, thank you! | ||

Come to '''[http://www.washington.edu/maps/#!/cmu Communications (CMU) 104] between 6:30 and 9:30pm'''. It's OK if you come a little late but you'll want to have as much time as you can to finish the setup and self-directed assignments so come as close to 6:30pm as you can. Most people will finish early but some people will definitely need the full 3 hours. It's hard to know in advance where problems will crop up so please come on time even if you are confident. | Come to '''[http://www.washington.edu/maps/#!/cmu Communications (CMU) 104] between 6:30 and 9:30pm'''.
