Are you unsure how much of a margin to leave around your calligraphy? Do you wonder what the best way is to credit the author? Or are you unsure about appropriate color, layout or style…?

Bring roughs of an idea that you have been working on, ideally something not very complex--so that you actually finish it!--along with the tools/paper you have in mind to work with--and any questions you have. Even if you don’t finish your piece, you will come away with ideas and tips for the future.

Hopefully we can move your work along to a finished--or close-to-finished--state. Please consider working to a standard size, which will be easier to frame (5 x 7, 8 x 10, 9 x 12, 11 x 14).

We will work seminar style, since participants may have similar issues. Hopefully we will all learn from each other’s questions and difficulties!

This mini-workshop runs from 10am to 2:30pm with a half hour for lunch.

Join us on Saturday for this exclusive 2-hour workshop (limited seating) to get your resume reviewed, edited, and optimized for the highly competitive Product Manager role with the help from our Product Manager career experts and alumni.

Main Takeaways:

• What are recruiters looking for in a Product Manager resume? 

• What are the right buzzwords?

• Are resumes 1 page or 2 pages? Does it matter?

• How do I get past the bot? 

• How do I best highlight my skills? 

• How do I translate my experience/expertise on my resume if I've never been a Product Manager?

• Do I need to customize my resume for every job I apply to? 

Product Gym has successfully helped over 120 of its own students land Product Manager roles. 

Our experts come with over 10+ years of combined recruiting experience, and our alumni include those who have successfully made career transitions into Product Management even with little or no product experience.

Learn, network, and get the best industry interview tips by those who have actually done it.

Not in NYC? We also offer Bootcamp Prep in a Week online via our fully immersive Remote Campus.

Bootcamp Prep in a Week is for any student who's interested in applying to any of Fullstack Academy's prestigious immersive programs -- such as the Software Engineering Immersive or the Grace Hopper Program -- and desires to acquire the programming skills needed to pass the coding assessment and technical interview.

This one-week, intensive course starts with two full days of weekend learning, continues Monday through Thursday evenings, and concludes with another two full days of weekend learning. It's our entire Bootcamp Prep curriculum condensed into a single week.


What is the Admissions Process like for Bootcamp Prep?

There is a light admissions process for Bootcamp Prep. Although it's designed for beginners, the curriculum starts with the assumption that students have basic familiarity with JavaScript syntax, which allows the class to move at a good pace and yield quality outcomes for students. There are about 10 hours of required pre-work to work through before the class starts, to make sure you're prepared to succeed on Day 1. Once you've finished the pre-work, we ask you to take the JavaScript Review to confirm your newly acquired skills!

Here's what the admissions process looks like:

1) When you sign up for Bootcamp Prep, you'll answer several short, admissions-related questions.

2) You'll be given immediate access to the Bootcamp Prep Pre-Work, which consists of about 10 hours of material meant to prepare you for the first day of class.

3) Once you've finished the pre-work, you're invited to take a short coding assessment. The assessment has “easy” level questions on topics like Strings, Arrays, and Loops. 

4) After you take the assessment, we'll get back to you in a few days to let you know the outcome.

5) If you pass the test and are accepted, your spot in Bootcamp Prep will be confirmed and you’ll be ready to start class on Day 1 of your selected cohort.

6) If you don't pass the test, you will have the option to defer to the next Bootcamp Prep cohort (free of charge), so you have a chance to study some more and take the test again, or to receive a full refund of your course fee.


If you have any questions about this process, please email bootcampprep@fullstackacademy.com


When do we meet?




Schedule: Sat-Sun, 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM | Mon-Thu Evenings, 6:40PM – 9:40PM | Sat-Sun, 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM




A total of 36 hours of classroom work is delivered over the course of the week.




Any classes missed due to weather closures will be held remotely. Specific schedules will be provided based on the cohort you sign up for.


What is the curriculum?




As a Bootcamp Prep in a Week student, you’ll be taught by professional software engineers with years of experience.




You’ll attend class for a full weekend, then for 4 nights a week, and finish up with another full weekend of work. Each class begins with instruction, then segues into practical workshops to solidify your understanding of the day's concepts. Throughout the course, you'll develop core programming skills and use them to solve various coding challenges, and as the course draws to a close, you'll focus on a project that pulls together everything you've learned and demonstrates the practical application of JavaScript.




The week's curriculum includes the following fundamentals of JavaScript programming:




• Nested loops
• Nested conditional statements
• Test specs (Jasmine)
• Objects
• API’s
• JSON
• How the web works
• The call stack
• Recursion
• Functions 
• Scope
• How to master coding challenges

 


What is the tuition?




Tuition for this course is $250. We accept all major credit cards and checks. Should you be accepted to one of Fullstack Academy's Immersive programs after taking Bootcamp Prep, whatever you've paid for Bootcamp Prep will be applied towards your immersive tuition, essentially rendering Bootcamp Prep free.





Does completing Bootcamp Prep guarantee me a spot in an immersive program at Fullstack Academy?




This course does prepare you for the Fullstack admissions process, but completing the course does not guarantee acceptance to any of our immersive programs. You will still need to complete the same coding assessment and interview process as all other Fullstack applicants. 

 


What do I need for class?




You need to have a functioning computer for each class. Macs are preferred, however, Windows machines are acceptable. 




Where can I find more details?

Both activities are no-sew projects. All materials will be provided.  All kids will receive a FREE Bling Your Booth patch.




There are four sessions per project each day, and space is limited to three groups per project each session.

THE DRUNK YOGA EXPERIENCE

Wine brings us together, yoga brings you to yourself.

A 15-minute happy hour will kick off your party. We’ll uncork the wine, play some music and mingle.
Your Drunk Yoga teacher will then bring everyone to their mats for a 45-minute beginner-friendly yoga class with wine in-hand. Class will be structured for optimal safety and fun. A 30-minute “wine-down” will conclude the event.

Come laugh, feel yourself and find community. 

*Drunk Yoga is a 90-minute experience. Ticket price includes yoga class + two glasses of wine. BYO yoga mat.

Q: CAN I DO DRUNK YOGA IF I’M NOT A YOGI? 
A: YES! Drunk Yoga is for yogis and non-yogis alike. The only thing you need for Drunk Yoga is an attitude of gratitude and an appreciation that happiness is health. 

Q: HOW MANY DRINKS DO I GET DURING DRUNK YOGA? DO I GET “DRUNK”? 
A: Guests drink approximately two glasses of wine throughout a Drunk Yoga class. Enough to feel happy-tipsy at the end. We do not let you have enough to get drunk; excessive drinking before or during class is prohibited. 

Q: DO I HAVE TO DRINK WINE AT DRUNK YOGA? 
A: Nope! We have plenty of water and other non-alcoholic beverages for you to enjoy. 

Q: CAN I COME BY MYSELF OR SHOULD I COME WITH FRIENDS? 
A: Whether you come alone or with friends, you’ll find a community of friends at Drunk Yoga. It’s a very open, communal environment. 

Q: ARE THERE ANY RULES TO DRUNK YOGA? 
A: Yes! But only to ensure safety and optimal fun.

Here they are: Consume no more than one glass of wine before class begins. Do not pre-game--"less is more" in Drunk Yoga! 

Drunk Yoga is not B.Y.O.B. Guests are only allowed to drink the wine provided by the host. 

Hydrate! Drunk Yoga is best enjoyed by those who are happy, healthy and hydrated. Water is provided before, during and after the class.

Other “game rules” are introduced during class by your Drunk Yoga teacher, designed to help you feel and share good vibes with your classmates.

Have fun! 

More Q's? Email info@dodrunkyoga.com or visit www.dodrunkyoga.com.

**In the event Drunk Yoga is cancelled due to bad weather, tickets are transferrable, but not refundable.

Monica: This Play is Not About Monica Lewinsky brings us through a series of scenes between Monica Lewinsky and different imagined lovers. This play asks what the cost of intimacy is, how we reckon with our past selves, and what we talk about when we talk about Other Women.

The Schomburg Center, working with AfroCROWD, is proud to host Black New York Wikipedia Edit-a-thon, our fifth-year initiative in which we invite members of the community and the general public to edit and contribute content related to Black history and culture on Wikipedia for the national Black WikiHistory Month outreach campaign.

This year we will focus especially on Black New York, past and present, adding notable figures and places whose content is incomplete or completely missing from Wikipedia.

Wikipedia is a free online encyclopedia written collaboratively by the people who use it (i.e. crowdsourced). At this event, you will learn how Wikipedia works and how to add content to it. You will also have access to the rich resources of the Schomburg library and assistance from volunteer Wikipedians, the experts, who will provide support and instruction on working in Wikipedia.

This Wikipedia training and Edit-a-thon will be held in the Aaron Douglas Reading Room of the Jean Blackwell Hutson Research and Reference Division on the Court Level (lower level) of the Schomburg Center. Stay for the entire afternoon or drop in any time between 12pm and 5pm.




Bring your own laptop, if possible. Laptops will also be available to check out with your NYPL library card on a first come, first serve basis.

Advanced wiki editing skills not required.

Passion for Black history and culture is highly recommended!

IMPORTANT TIP: If you're new to Wikipedia, check out the Beginner's guide to Wikipedia and make sure to create an account before Feb. 16th so you can get started right away.




GUESTS

Please note that there is no food or drinks allowed anywhere in the Schomburg Center.

PRESS 
Please send all press inquiries (photo, video, interviews, audio-recording, etc) at least 24-hours before the day of the program to Ayofemi Kirby at ayofemikirby@nypl.org. Professional photography and video recordings are prohibited without expressed consent.

Do you feel drawn to anti-racist work, and want to call others into that work, too? This workshop is designed to increase participants' ability to engage in conversations around race and racism. We will develop skills to bridge our understandings of the systems and structures of white supremacy with real, human conversations with folks in our communities. We will identify opportunities for "calling in" versus "calling out,” define white fragility and discuss how to navigate it, and learn tactics to address common microaggressions and racist statements. Participants should leave the workshop with tools for calling more white people into the movement for racial justice.
