The Frontend Workshop Adventure: From Planning to Success 🚀
How We Organized and Led Our First-Ever Student-Led Web Development Workshop 💻🌟
Hosting my first workshop was an exhilarating experience, filled with unexpected challenges and rewarding moments. 😊 As the vice president of our IEI Students’ Chapter, I had the privilege to lead an event that brought together eager second-year students and our knowledgeable team. 🌟 Let me take you through the journey of organizing and executing our first-ever frontend workshop! 🎉
Getting Started: The Initial Planning 📝✨
As the vice president of our IEI Students’ Chapter, I was tasked with organizing a workshop for the second-year students of our department. 🏫 The first question was whom to invite for the workshop. 🤔 My college friend, Atharva, suggested that since we had already learned web development and gained substantial experience, we could teach our peers ourselves. 💻👨🏫 This approach would also allow us to connect with the students better due to our close age gap.
We presented this proposal to our faculty advisor, who liked the idea. 👍 We chose Pavan, Piyush, Atharva, and myself to deliver the lessons. 👨🎓👩🎓👨🎓👩🎓 Excited to make this event successful, I took on the responsibility of creating the event poster. 🎨🖼️ It turned out better than expected, and I was thrilled with the outcome. 😃
Preparation and Registration 📋🔗
We then created a form for participants to register for the workshop using TypeForm 📝, aiming for an interactive experience 🎯. Along with the poster 🖼️ and the form link 🔗, our invitation message was ready ✅. Our advisor posted these in the official groups of the second-year students 📢.
However, the first hurdle soon appeared: TypeForm’s free tier only allowed 20 responses 🚧. I quickly created a new Google Form 📝 and sent it to our advisor to resend it in the group. He kindly did so, and within the next hour, we had over 70 registrations 🎉, filling our venue to capacity 🏢. With that, we closed the registrations 🛑 and prepared for the workshop day, which was just two days away 📅.
Workshop Day: Execution and Experience 🎉👨💻
The big day arrived, and we were all set 🎉. We divided the topics among the four of us 📚. I was responsible for handling the participants, maintaining the workshop flow, and conducting quizzes to keep the participants engaged and active 🧑🏫. I also made the workshop PPT 📊, adding to my excitement for the event.
We arrived early at the venue, only to find the participants were even more enthusiastic, arriving before us! Their energy boosted our spirits 🌟. Following our advisor's instructions, I introduced everyone and kicked off the workshop 🎤. Everything was going smoothly, and I was pleased to see everyone performing their roles excellently 😊.
We had 2-3 additional team members assisting the participants with learning and applying the concepts 🤝. The quizzes after each session ensured everyone was having fun while learning, which was the primary goal of hosting such events 🎯.
These are some of the memories captured 👇
We also created a event highlight video that you can see 😄
Conclusion: A Rewarding Experience 🌟
The two-day workshop was an amazing experience, filled with learning 📚, laughter 😂, and building a community of like-minded individuals 🤝. We concluded with selfies 📸 and joy 😊, leaving everyone happy and fulfilled 🌟.
