what do we expect from our mentors?

We expect everything or at least one thing from you:

Share blogs which can help people complete the challenge
Review project and code.
Further guide and write recommendations for participants.

Take this as an opportunity to share your knowledge.


Mentor folks to solve doubts and share good project ideas
Give your favourite project/participant a shout out on your social media platform
Review the participant’s blog, as many of these writers would be fresher.
At the end of the challenge, every student who has completed 5 projects and 3 blogs would need two reviews. Please be ready to put those reviews in writing. As you would be guiding these students on their projects you'll have good material to write one.

why should one be a mentor?

Life is a boomerang. What you give YOU GET –Anonymous
A mentor is a person or friend who guides a less experienced person by building trust and modeling positive behaviors. An effective mentor understands that his or her role is to be dependable, engaged, authentic, and tuned into the needs of the mentee
Perks of being a mentor would be one could share his knowledge and skills with the future developer and get a chance to learn mentorship.

the journey

My journey in third person's point of view because let's face it that sounds way cooler: The journey started with a channel on Instagram led by Tanay Pratap, who focuses on sharing his knowledge and teach new coders completely free and also promote open source community. During a student’s college life, they don’t get proper guidance and resource so that they could build relevant skills and excel to get a good job.  So Tanay started a free platform learncodingfree.org to teach and guide future engineers perform well and successfully build a good portfolio  and at the end get employed.
Regards,
Tanay Pratap
P.S. Kanishk from our team will be helping you with navigating the challenge. He'll be following you on your social media handles and would be a bridge too in case you miss things on the telegram group. Kindly allow DMs from his handles.
