Nashville Software School Mentor Breakfast
Time: breakfast starts at 8am, meeting starts at 8:30, we'll be done by 9:30am - if you can't get there at 8 come when you can.
Date: Tuesday, 24 July
Location: Railyard Studios
429 Chestnut Street, Studio C
Nashville, TN 37203
We are meeting at Railyard Studio's new workshop and showroom on Chestnut Street in Nashville. Many of you know Robert Hendricks and know about the great furniture that Railyard Studios designs and builds. Well, come join us and meet all of our great students from Nashville Software School plus see Railyard's new workshops and see a selection of their award-winning work. It's a craftsmanship mashup - software school meets Railyard Studios. The pure intellectual craftsmanship of slinging bits to make useful and beautiful code meeting great craftsmanship in building stuff out of atoms of wood and iron. Actually Railyard uses slightly larger pieces of wood and iron than individual atoms, but you the drift. Check out some of Railyard's work at their website: www.railyardstudios.com.
This is also an opportunity for us to start connecting mentors with students for the final part of our summer program. Our students are going to start to tackle a couple of large programming challenges the next two weeks so we'd love to have them have access to and support from a mentor to help them problem-solve and trouble-shoot as well as provide encouragement and suggestions. Join us for coffee on Tuesday morning and meet the students and if you're interested we can then get the mentoring process started.
So come out, meet the students and continue to support Nashville Software School. Here are the details:
Located on south side of Chestnut directly across from Werthan Granite, Large Orange door up the steps, can't miss.
The building is set back a bit from the street and there is a gravel parking lot in front of the building, there are steps leading up from the parking lot to the large orange door. You can park in the gravel lot.
This is an old factory and it is NOT air conditioned - that's why the early morning event while it is still cool.
We will have coffee and tea and breakfast stuff to eat.
Please RSVP by email reply to wark dot john at gmail dot com so that I know how much coffee and food to bring.
