This weekend was something special.
We ran a 16 hour workshop teaching people how to use Git and GitHub accessibly.
From the very beginning. What a repo is. How to clone, commit, push, and collaborate. All of it done with a screen reader.
Then we went further.
Students learned to build their own custom agents with VS Code and GitHub Copilot. @JeffBishop built image agents that are already in the workshop repo and ready to use. (1/2)

@mikedoisePeople came in not knowing Git. They left feeling confident enough to contribute to open source.
Thank you to @JeffBishop, @mikedoise, and every single person who made this happen.
This is what accessibility education looks like when the community shows up.

@mikedoise@tayarndt @JeffBishop @mikedoise I had really wanted to come. I had massive seizures that kind of took me out for two days. I'm glad it was a success.

@EdenLinnea @JeffBishop @mikedoise That is really awful. All that documentation is there so you can read it at your own pace

#a11y #GitHub #OpenSource #Accessibility #BlindTech #ScreenReader #GitHubCopilot #AIAgents (2/2)@tayarndt @JeffBishop @mikedoise I loved the entire thing, I already knew some stuff to do with Git and GitHub, and this reinforced that knowledge and even gave me new stuff that I've learnt. Even though we didn't really do the challenge issue assignments I still found the workshop useful and interesting, and its thanks to you and everyone else that it was such a success!

@tayarndt @JeffBishop @mikedoise I know. I think I did't even get to hit the invite link before I lost it. So not sure It would work now. My brain was on a hiatus for like two days, very confused.

@mikedoise@tayarndt @JeffBishop @mikedoise Too bad I missed this - wondering if this can be seen somewhere on line to do the course later.

@mikedoise@tayarndt @JeffBishop @mikedoise I registered but wasn't able to be there because of my health and the fact that I could barely stay awake. Glad to hear it went well, and I'll definitely be checking out the documentation.
