Bring a laptop (PC, Mac or Chromebook)! The labs will run on all of the latest versions of the popular browsers. For the best experience, make sure your laptop has Firefox or Chrome installed.

• Important to know

This is a kick-off session that will last about 3 hours. We will then adjourn where you will be able to complete 2-8 hours of self-paced, self-study on your own complete with a Slack channel for minor support. All attendees who finish will meet back together in about 30 days. (Date TBD)
