JEANC

Summer Kickstart Days

What is a Kickstart Day?

It’s a one-day workshop for students and advisers, with instruction, examples and practice all bundled into one intensive experience. Participants learn and practice skills in the same day, creating a project to share with the group over a dinner showcase the same evening.

(Currently, JEANC is putting more energy into our fall NorCal Media Day event and not offering Summer Kickstart Workshop Days. If you have interest in this kind of thing, contact us to discuss it: [email protected])
