Making first contact
We meet weekly to discuss issues and progress on powerplant, you can join our meeting or contact us at live@ecohackerfarm.org
Plan and write your project proposal
Community Bonding Period
Students are invited to attend the weekly meetings, get to know the team and participate in the discussions. On an individual basis mentors assigned to the students will meet with them on a one to one basis and get to know each other and the project better.
During this four week period students are expected to set up their development environments, learn how their project’s source control works, refine their project plans, read any necessary documentation, and otherwise prepare to complete their project proposals.
Mentors will help their students understand which resources will be most useful to them, introducing them to the members of the community who will be most helpful with their projects, and generally acculturating them
