Good morning, scholars! Happy Monday! @channel It is time to start a new fun challenge to make your learning experience loads of fun.

Join us in our #07-blackout-bingo channel to start your Blackout Bingo challenge.

This challenge will take place from Tuesday, May 10th to Wednesday, May 25th.

What is the Blackout Bingo Challenge?

You will all receive a bingo card with 9 activities to be completed before May 25th, 2022 (see uploaded image on #07-blackout-bingo).

In order to receive credit for the activity, you must provide a screenshot indicating that activity has been completed under their Slack accounts in this channel.

The first three (3) students to complete all 9 activities will receive a cool prize by the end of the challenge.

All the challenge details are on our Google Site here and in our #07-blackout-bingo channel. Join now and let’s get started!

@channel Good morning, scholars! Your first project deadline is coming up soon (May 22nd - check our FAQs). In order to keep your seat in the program and avoid revoking, you need to submit your first project. We will host an AMA by the end of this week to answer any questions you might have on revoking and we urge you all to attend your connect sessions to make the best out of your learning process this week.

More details on AMAs to be announced soon on #01_announcements
