Please add your ideas for August@UOG here. Thanks!

What are we going to do?! Time is short! I'll spit out a few general ideas. Please help me solidify it.

we should try to keep a sense of working together at the 'camp'. pair/group people up?

13. Explanation of core principles as well as practice with hand-crafted challenges

14. Think about non-profits to help / projects to do.

15. Advanced JS, Projects, Competitions

16. Continue JS

17. Introduce to community’s active projects and gamified coding challenges

18. Group activities

Maybe make our own simple challenges and people will use repl.it to solve it. Since it is on repl.it, we can show some of the people's solutions showing there are different ways to come to the same solution.
