Research direction

This issue is about updating documentation to clarify how trainees can book mentored coding sessions with volunteers. Review the existing mentored coding guide linked in the issue and identify where to add the volunteer booking instructions. Ensure the update is clear and matches the provided Slack channel and canvas details.

Description

📅 Sprint 1 📅 Sprint 2 📅 Sprint 3 Optional Recurring Submit:None

On top of mentored coding sessions with members of the education team, there is also the option to book additional sessions with a volunteer.

The expectation is the same as with other mentored coding sessions: you should come to the session with a problem to work on. We recommend a Codewars exercise, but it could be a backlog task, or a project you're working on.

See the mentored coding guide for guidance.

To book time with a volunteer, use one of the Scheduling links in the #cyf-mentored-coding slack channel's canvas not listed as "EDU TEAM". If there are no available times, you may want to post in #cyf-mentored-coding to see if any volunteers have further availability.

Remember, as a trainee, you will need to explain your thought process, plan out what to do, write the code and check it works.
