Check Teams works
Our live sessions run on Microsoft Teams: it is where the six live sessions happen, and where you post your questions in the chat. We have set up a test meeting so you can check it works on your device now, rather than finding out on the night. It takes two minutes. Nobody will be there: an empty meeting screen means it worked, and that is all you need to see.

This link is only for testing your setup. It is not the link for the sessions themselves: we will email you a separate joining link before the Bootcamp starts.

A short video walkthrough, if you would rather see it done first.
No microphone or camera needed
Sessions are a talk followed by questions, and questions go through the chat, so all you need is to be able to listen and type. If your device has no camera, or your connection is slow, you can still take part fully.
On a phone or a computer
On a phone you will need the Teams app. On a computer you can use the app or click "Continue on this browser". You do not need a Microsoft account: choose "Join as a guest" and enter your name.
If the test does not work
Try the other option: the app if the browser failed, the browser if the app failed.
Block out the week now
Getting the dates into your calendar early is the single best thing you can do today, so nothing clashes with the sessions. All times are UK time. These entries hold the time only: they do not carry the Teams joining link, which we will email you closer to the start.

Add every date at once
One download covers all six taught sessions and both optional sessions. It works with Apple Calendar, Outlook, Google Calendar, and anything else that reads calendar files.
New to Google Classroom?
Classroom is the other half of the bootcamp: it holds your lessons, assignments, and recordings. It is free, it works on a phone, and this short introduction will get you comfortable well before day one. Nothing here is required, so treat it as optional.
