Before you register
Is it really free?
Yes. Every NYC workshop is free. You only need to register so we can send you the joining link.
Do I need coding experience?
No. We build step by step, and the engineer explains each part as we go. Bring a laptop so you can follow along.
How do I join on the day?
After you register, we send the joining link before the session starts. Open it on your laptop or phone a few minutes early.
Will this get me an internship?
The workshop helps you plan and prepare. You still need to learn, build and practise, and attending does not guarantee an internship.
