Install the Slack Apps on your:
- Mobile: App store or Google Play
- Desktop: OSX or Windows
Be active on slack! This is how you'll start meeting and helping each other before the class starts. Once you are in, join the channel #classN and write "hej 👋". (If your classnumber is 9 the Slack channel will be called #class9).
We also ask you not to use fake names - as you will use this channel for advice and feedback it will be helpful if your mentors know who is who. Adding a photo to your profile is required :)
