Help others get started on your favourite topic
Berlin Buzzwords traditionally has been focused on providing high quality, deep technical content to developers in the trenches. One obvious question though is how to become an expert in those exciting topics? Our suggestion: Learn from the experts!
To reach out to beginners the Berlin Buzzwords team decided to collaborate with Open Tech School - "a community initiative offering free programming workshops and supports volunteer coaches in setting up events by taking care of the organizational details, encouraging coaches to create original teaching material":
The plan is to provide beginner friendly workshops on Sunday afternoon (5p.m. to 9p.m.) in parallel to the Berlin Buzzwords Barcamp. To be able to do that we need your help: We are looking for developers who are already in town Sunday evening and would be willing to introduce their favourite topic to max 7 attendees per session. Simply add your proposal to our wiki!
The goal is to provide a more detailed introduction to your favourite technology. The content should be targeted to people who do have some software engineering background but are new to your topic.
If you have never given trainings before don't despair - OTS are there to help you out. They will support you prepare your session and provide guidance on site in case of any issues.
Looking forward to lots of interesting workshops that will help get people started with all the facinating Berlin Buzzwords topics.
