<h1>Hosting a NodeSchool Event</h1>
<p>NodeSchool is a fully community driven effort and is 100% open source. This means that anyone can use the NodeSchool materials and/or host an event.</p>

<p><strong><span>First you should</span> <a href="https://github.com/nodeschool/organizers/blob/master/README.md#how-to-start-a-new-nodeschool-chapter">get a new NodeSchool Chapter set up</a><span>. Once that is done see below for resources about hosting your first event.</span></strong></p>

<h3>Hosting Suggestions</h3>
</div>
<div class="two-thirds">
<p>As you can see from the above writeups there is a lot of flexiblity in the specifics of running an event, but we have found some of the following suggestions to be universally helpful:</p>
<ul>
<li>Try and get a mentor:student ratio of around 1:5 or more</li>
<li>Send attendees a reminder email the day/night before to increase turnout</li>
<li>Reach out to a wider group of potential attendees to encourage a more diverse turnout</li>
<li>Adopt a code of conduct for the event to help create a safe space and to minimize potential harassment scenarios</li>
<li>If you are unsure if your venue has adequate WiFi capacity then have an offline plan (e.g. thumbdrives)</li>
<li>If needed reach out to local software companies etc and ask for donations of space, wifi, food and drinks</li>
</ul>
