Misc edits in prepration for the next ITP run
These were discussed with the CYF staff guiding the first sprint in each region: * Make the Welcome sprint energiser just be "Introduce yourself" * Consistently label energisers as energisers, and invite folks to think of / bring their own. * Call out that people should make name tags for the first few weeks. * Add an (optional) call to hang out after class. * Add a Code of Conduct block to the Welcome day-plan. * Update that PRs must be complete before steps are submitted. * Consistently suggest that Miro post-it workshops can be done on Miro or with post-its. * Move Slack Libs from an energiser to a workshop-ish thing earlier in the course. * Some copy edits on some activities * Stop {{<our-name>}} from adding a trailing space

There should be blank name tags and pens in the room you're in. Make a name tag for yourself and put it somewhere people can see.

Feel free to put whatever you'd like on your name tag. Make sure to include whatever name you'd like people to call you!

At {{<our-name>}} we learn as a community. You're going to be spending the coming months with the people around you. After that, they will form part of your professional network too.
15+
16+
We encourage you to spend time getting to know them! This is optional. But after class, we encourage you to do something like:
17+
* Hang around in the class space chatting or playing games.
18+
* Go sit in a nearby park together.
19+
* Go to a local cafe for hot drinks.
20+
* Go to a nearby pub.
21+
* Or any other ideas you have!
22+
23+
Make sure everyone who wants to join in will feel welcome wherever you go (e.g. a lot of people don't like drinking or being near alcohol).
24+
25+
If {{<our-name>}} is paying childcare expenses so that you can come to class, we're happy to pay for this time as well.
