Welcome to #CodersTeach chat! 👩🏽‍💻👩🏽‍🏫

Some quick, simple ground rules:

1. Be supportive
2. Be honest
3. Be kind

Any doubt on what those mean, just ask. #CodersTeach

How does this chat work?

I'll post a series of 3 questions over the course of the hour. We discuss each, then we move onto a new question on the same topic. #CodersTeach

All questions will be labeled (ex: Q1) so please include the label in your answer (ex: A1) and the #CodersTeach hashtag.

Feel free to respond directly to each other, too—cross-talk makes the chat!

About 5 mins before the chat ends at 8 PM EST, we’ll do shoutouts. 🗣

This is where you can link any accomplishments, projects, life events, cool resources you've found, tag helpful people... whatever's got you jazzed to be here. :) #CodersTeach

When folks embark on the journey of changing careers OR fields, they often overlook one of the most important parts of job searches in general: the local economy and climate around those fields. There's so much we can learn! #CodersTeach

Tonight, we'll be talking about our own local tech economies look, and why it's important to pay attention to what's going on in the tech scene directly around us.

Ok, let's go! #CodersTeach

Q1: What factors do you think should be considered when evaluating your local tech industry? #CodersTeach

Q2: Have you ever personally taken the time to see what your local tech economy is like? (and if so, what did you find?) #CodersTeach

Q3: Let's say you're looking for a job locally, whether it's your first job or an intra-industry move.

If you didn't have a robust LOCAL tech economy, what would you do? #CodersTeach

It's time for shout-outs! 🗣

Let's hear about your projects, accomplishments, dope resources, people—whatever you like!! #CodersTeach

Alright y'all, thanks so much everyone for joining me for #CodersTeach chat!

Have a wonderful night, keep learning and building, and be sure to come back tomorrow for #CodeNewbie chat at 9 PM EST :)
