Document best practices for running a live event based on a ProtoSchool tutorial #75
Description
Previously mentioned in #58 but breaking out into its own issue for better tracking.
We've had a request for a written resource to help folks understand best practices for teaching a ProtoSchool tutorial in a live face-to-face environment. It's important to point out that this is not a request about teaching any specific tutorial, nor about how to run a ProtoSchool chapter with multiple events over time, nor about how to teach other formats of content; it's just about turning the tutorials on our website into effective live experiences. (The scope would be narrower than the scope of the awesome community session from IPFS Camp.)
The tips provided should apply equally to folks who are leading longstanding educational groups over time (ProtoSchool chapters, IPFS meetups, etc.) and those who would like to run a live ProtoSchool workshop as a one-off at another event with a dweb connection, as happened at Web3. Guidance would cover issues such as:
- How to run a ProtoSchool workshop
- When to run one
- Which one you should choose based on your audience
- How skilled you have to be
- Facilitation best practices
- Ratio of guests to trainers
- Who does what on site
- How to encourage attendees to submit feedback on the tutorials via GitHub issues
- FAQs
- Anything you should bring, provide, print out, etc.
Some potential resources to reference while creating this written document:
- Slides, video, repo from the community stewardship workshop at IPFS Camp 2019 (led by @nukemandan @kk3wong @stefanhans)
- Discussion thread on planning your first ProtoSchool event
- Resources page in this organizing repo, which includes info on CoC, stickers, slide deck templates, etc.
We're seeking volunteers for this task who have led multiple successful events using our coding tutorials as their main educational content. ❤️
