Maker’s day 1
First thought-wow! A lot of information and I am still processing most of it. It has been a long day made longer for me because of my two hour commute. I think it might take me the whole twelve weeks to get used to walking through London Bridge in the morning!
I was very nervous this morning, (mainly a fear of the unknown) but everyone has been super nice and super friendly which really helped to put me at ease. The meditation also really helped to relax me and I’m looking forward to delving into the emotional intelligence aspects of the course as well as the coding.

Most educational establishments like to talk about their community but Maker’s is the first place I’ve ever been to where there is a real sense of community from the moment you walk in the door. I lost count of the number of people who started a conversation with me, from my cohort to cohorts above me to coaches to graduates.
Everybody seemed genuinely interested in helping me make the most of maker’s and even though it felt a little overwhelming at times, I’m really glad they made the effort. I will endeavour to do the same to others.
So much to take in and we haven’t even started coding yet! That challenge starts tomorrow but for now I will try to get some rest.
