Preparations
- How to set up a garage account?
- How to set up a garage project?
- Think of a simple app that can be coded in about a week (doesn't matter if there is already an app out there that does what you think is cool, it's supposed to be a learning experience for you)
- Form small 3 person teams
- Use garage for project tracking
Course format
- Small teams for the projects, preferably about 3 people per team
- Run in a SCRUM way - but this is up to the teams
