Codeathon for Humanity GHC2010 Facilitator's Guide

Thank you for agreeing to help out as a Codeathon Facilitator! Here is some information to get you started. Please check back frequently (or subscribe to changes) to keep abreast of any new information.

Everyone has different skill and experience levels. Your main role as a Codeathon facilitator is to make sure the participants are engaged, feel like they are a contributor rather than an observer and answer questions or point people in the direction of the answer. This means lots of different skillsets are important - not just coding ability - so we are delighted to have a diverse and talented group of facilitators.

Training Sessions

Please do your best to attend at least one training session, two are even better! We also hope to record the sessions and make them available for those of you who have scheduling conflicts.

• September 15, 2010, 19:30-21:00 UTC (12:30-14:00 PDT, 15:30-17:00 EDT)
• September 24, 2010, 22:00-23:30 UTC (15:00-16:30 PDT, 18:00-19:30 EDT)
