Week 2 finished!
We're just coming up on the end of week two, and I've already learned a lot. We spent week 1 learning about our values as techies and how to earn certifications. We also learned how to create skill charts and an elevator pitch, which was quite challenging It was a lot of lectures and writing. Week 2 was a chance to really get hands-on. We had a chance to learn about what our short-term goals were and learn the specs of a computer. And finally, on Thursday we had a chance to do basic coding and take apart a computer. It was a very educational 2 weeks!
