A community of engineers who buildNot a chat room you forget to open.
Everything happens around the weekly lab: you prepare, you build, you show, you review the next person.

Start free, join when a lab is worth your evening, bring your team when it is worth theirs.

What happens every week
Every lab week runs the same loop, so the community stays about building, not about posting.
- Before: free prework
Each lab page lists the free courses and repos to go through first, so the live time goes on building.
- Live: I do, We do, You do
Watch the system built, build it together, then apply it to your own code while help is in the room.
- After: show-and-tell
Post your build in the lab's GitHub discussion, then review two others against the lab's three outcomes.
- Questions that stay answered
Ask in the lab's Q&A on GitHub, not a chat that scrolls away. The answers stay searchable for the next member.
- Lab captains
Members whose reviews help others are invited to help during We do and to try new labs first. Captains are invited, not bought.
