Idea Description

Disclaimer: this would take a lot of time!

From Discord Suggestions: A channel bot feed for daily, weekly, monthly 'Django' backend development challenges (or tasks) for community to complete.

a scheduled workshop or workshops - in one of the voice channels - for new members (or everyone) - to be about a general overview of django - and guiding attendees through the 'Writing your first Django app' - (8 part tutorial at the time of this suggestion)

Which existing platform's would this idea affect?

• Forum
• Discord
• Github
• elsewhere (tell us in the description)

Rationale

Cohort based learning, challenges and live training are valid learning approaches. Is it sustainable for the community, that's the question?

Problem

These are activities to more actively engage new developers into the community.

Would you like to be involved in this idea?
