Wanna get your gears turning before the big day? Here are some fun ways to prep:

• Git good at Git! 😉 Sharpen those version control skills: https://learngitbranching.js.org/
• Arm yourself with a trusty IDE. VSCode is a fan favorite if you're looking for suggestions!
• Designers: Bring your favorite prototyping tools (Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD)
• PMs: Brush up on your user story creation and team facilitation skills
• Everyone: Let those creative juices flow!

Jot down some wild project ideas:

• No idea is too crazy! The sky's the limit! 🌈
• Just make sure the idea is clearly defined so you can show off something cool as a team when we're done.
• It could be anything from a wacky concept to a working prototype. Or maybe you just want to dive into a new tech toy? Go for it!
