so you're a club leader, and you want to run swirl



How do I run a Swirl Workshop?

1

Prepare!


A few days before your workshop, you're going to want to prepare! Here's some suggestions:

  1. Familiarize yourself with what you're covering in the workshop! We have resources for you and your club members. Make sure you know the requirements for a Swirl website.
  2. You may want to make slides (or use ours!) and make a demo website. It can be helpful when explaining things to participants.
  3. Have all the necessary materials ready! This can include: laptops, internet, github access, chargers, and handouts (like this website planner).
  4. Fill out this form to create your workshop once you're ready. This step is required to ship and get your ice cream!

Run the Workshop!


A few tips for running your workshop:

  1. Go at a pace that works for you and you club members! You can always split the workshop into multiple sessions if needed.
  2. Ask your club members if they have any questions and be there to help them.
  3. Have fun and learn! The workshop is meant to be a fun learning experience for you and your club members, so make sure to enjoy it. Remember: you're in control of how the workshop goes, so make it your own!

Have members submit their projects!

If you've done Boba Drops, this is very similar! Make sure they're able to submit with a GitHub repository and their website. Have them submit at forms.hackclub.com/swirl.


Once all of your members have submitted, let us know in #swirl to close your workshop and get your grant.
