Mentoring

Why will you attend this particular event?

I really want to attend a React or Redux meet up over break. It'll be a great opprotunity to learn more on the subject, and potentially meet some people could help me better learn the material and become more proficient. Learning React and Redux are two massive marketable skills that can help finding a career easier if you have a solid foundation.

Who do you hope to connect with at this event?

It would be nice to make some connections in the Denver tech community and potentially find a mentor that isn't in the Turing network. Or meet people from companies that are intersting and learn more about the companies and what they do.

How will you follow-up with the people you connect at this event?

I'll if they would want to grab coffee or see if it would be possible to go to their office and see what goes on at a company that does software development. Or if I conncect with someone if they'd be willing to help me learn React better or help me learn Redux would be hugely beneficial.

Why you want to connect with this person and what you hope to talk about

I looked at our posse mentors and one of ours works with React, and she was looking for mentors and I thought that would be a great opportunity to meet someone in the tech community who went to Turing and knows React.

When you will contact them by and how you plan to meet

I have already contacted her, and the plan so far is to meet up over break when things slow down a bit.

What your follow-up will look like once you've met with them

Hopefully if the meeting goes well, and we get along. Or feel she would be beneficial as a mentor make a plan to consistently meet up. So you don't just meet up once and never talk to them again. Try and meet once again and go over material thats hard in school or new something new or possibly get help with school projects.
