It's time to hack the way we learn. Tech education is broken. We struggle to keep up on a myriad of technologies and neglect the skills that make us effective: how we learn, how we communicate, how we inspire others.Passionate Programmers hosts learning sprints and personal growth retreats for people who work in tech. We turn classic tech education on its head. With peer-to-peer learning you tap into the experience and perspectives of a diverse group of practitioners in project-driven and self-directed sprints or focused weekend retreats. Discover new tips and workflows, apply them to your own work, receive feedback on your project and ideas, and improve your meta-skills that make you a better programmer, a better communicator, and a more valuable asset to your team.
