WHAT IS A BREAKFAST CLUB STUDY JAM?🤔

It's a 4 hour long Study Session where all of you can access project-specific webinars, live help, and “time with teachers" on Zoom. We all will be online for those 4 hours to help you working on your projects with the resources you need to get your questions answered!

*This Study Session takes its cues from the 1985 John Hughes movie, the "Breakfast Club" - a movie about five high school who students meet in Saturday detention.

HOW WILL IT WORK?

It's simple. You will join a ND-specific Zoom meeting room (aka "Detention") to work on your project for 4 hours. Everyone in the room will be muted so you can all focus on your work. If you have a question or a blocker that comes up while you learn, you can:

  1. 👨‍🏫Ask a "teacher" – in each "Detention" room there will be a graduate student or student leader waiting for questions from students.
  2. 🍿Join a Project Walkthrough or Project Q&A Webinar – during the study session in "Detention" you will be invited to join another room to watch a webinar.

DETENTION SCHEDULE

-DETENTION-

  1. Make sure to create a free Zoom account ahead of the event!
  2. During this 4 hour session there will be 4 “Detentions” (one for each track) that you can join.

Click your track's Detention room on the day of the event:

  1. You will be live working on your homework (as if you were in Detention). If you have a question, you can unmute yourself and ask the “Teacher” (graduate student) your question.
  2. You can come in and out as you need to!
  3. Scholarship graduates will lead these sessions so bring your questions and they will help get you get one step closer to project submission.
  4. There will be one Community Manager in each Detention room too! So even just stop by to say "Hi" to them! :)
