From a tech event we had recently—“The main request that came out of the meetup was a way to match up potential mentors with mentees”Maybe something using the current EA Forum user search function but with a redesigned interface for connecting.
Before this gets out of hand—I think the request referred to was literally me writing down a random idea to get the ball rolling.
Thinking about this further —
Couldn’t this be done via a Google Sheet?
First tab — instructions for interested participants
Second tab — prospective mentees enter their goals and contact info
Third tab — prospective mentors enter their areas of expertise and provide a Calendly link
(Of course, people could sign up on both the mentors + mentees tab if they wanted — we all need / can offer help in different areas)
There could be an associated Slack or Discord for people to post their learnings / requests for mentorship / etc.
Happy to have someone (a non-technical person maybe?) set this up during the Hackathon if they feel so inspired.
Definitely sounds like a worthy project — thanks for contributing, David
