We believe that this event should be fun, laid back and offered in a positive, inclusive experience. We will incorporate games, group activities and real-world scenarios as much as possible. We will not put you on the spot, make you demonstrate in front of the class (unless you want to) or speak in front of crowds. If that and the promise of terrible Dad jokes appeals to you, you have found the place to sign up.
