Techtonica is a nonprofit that partners with companies to offer tech training and job placement to Bay Area women and non-binary adults with low incomes.
Can you help Techtonica's apprentices with their final projects or technical interview preparation for 3 hours at a time? We welcome in-person visitors or remote help (via Screenhero in Slack—we'll send you the details).
If you have not yet signed up to volunteer with Techtonica, you'll need to fill out our volunteer form at bit.ly/volunteer-with-Techtonica.
In order to be allowed up the escalator, you'll need to register by 2 PM the day before. Show your ID in the lobby, go to Indeed's office on the 3rd floor, ring the doorbell to be let in, sign the NDA, and we'll come get you or you can have the person at the desk show you where we are. Please bring a laptop and be ready to abide by Techtonica's code of conduct. We may take some photos or film while you're around.
Use Github issues and milestones to manage your progress.
Use UX/UI design best practices.
Use an API of your choice with at least three calls.
Use one of the data structures and algorithms covered (bonus if it's not one you presented!).
Request code reviews at least once per week and incorporate constructive feedback.
Make sure your app is good for web and mobile (start with mobile responsive and use media queries and Flexbox).
