Set up the examples above locally
- Have the https://github.com/CodeYourFuture/Node-Exercises project forked and cloned.
- Create a new branch named
yourname
+ NAME_OF_EXERCISE - Make sure to edit the appropriate project from the cloned repository.
- Start up your server, then check that it is working by making a request to
/
- Fix the code on your version of the server
- Create a PR with your solution back in GitHub. Make sure you name your PR

+ NAME_OF_EXERCISE
2) Chat Server API Project (12 Hours+) 🔑
Take a look at this repository:
In that repository folder you will find a task to create a Chat Server.
To complete the coursework you should:
- Make sure that the repository has been forked
- Go to the
chat-server
folder and complete the tasks - Create a pull request back to the original repository
3) Prepare a Presentation (1 Hour)
Prepare a VERY simple recap of what we did and what we learned in today's class in Node Week 1.
The presentation should last between 60 and 120 seconds
Time yourselves - that is NOT much time!
Next class we will be presenting to each other to share what we have learnt.
NOTE: Slides (or presenting from computer) is NOT allowed.
4) CodeWars (1 hour)
Every week you need to complete at least three kata. Spend at least 20 minutes, three times a week, on your kata workout.

5) Challenges (Stretch)
6) Reflect about your own biases (PD - 1 hr)
Think of when you are stressed, feeling tired, rushed, as these situations tend to activate our biases. How may these feelings influence your behavior when working with a group? Reflect in a 250 word essay.
7) Challenge yourself (PD - 15 min)
Take an Implicit Association Test (IAT) here to identify what your unconscious biases are. There are multiple topics to choose from: Age, Gender, Sexuality, Skin-tone, Ethnicity, etc. Remember: Awareness is the first step to combatting bias.
