The wellbeing of our employees, students, clients, instructors, and guests is our number one priority here at General Assembly. We are monitoring the Coronavirus situation very carefully and will be adjusting delivery of our programs.

Due to the current health concerns in the greater Chicago area, all GA short-form (one day) classes, workshops and bootcamps from March 12 - March 31 will temporarily be held online - including this one.

Registered students will be notified 24 hours in advance of this program with information on how to log in to the Zoom Meeting Room and Slack messaging apps. Registration for this class will close 1 hour prior to class start in order to allow all students ample opportunity to have the technology enabled.
