Get Ready for Our First Tech Taco Tuesday!
We're kicking off this week with an event that perfectly captures the spirit of 71 North—our first Tech Taco Tuesday! Join us this Tuesday at 5 PM for an exciting session where we'll introduce GitHub, a powerful tool many practitioners use. After diving into its features, we'll take a short walk to La Salsa to enjoy some tasty tacos.
Tech Taco - Tuesdays at 5:00 pm
Why We Love Tech Taco Tuesday
Tech Taco Tuesday is more than just an event—it reflects our community's DNA. It brings together people eager to learn, share, and connect in a relaxed, fun environment. This event was born out of a collective idea, with many of our members contributing to its creation. Tech Taco Tuesday is a genuine community effort, from shaping the format to testing code, and even sampling tacos across town. It's an activity that brings people together and grows on you. We love it!
Starting this week, join us at 5:00 PM for Tech Tacos. Whether you're a coding newbie, a seasoned pro, or just here for the tacos, there's a place for you at the table. Let's learn, connect, and enjoy some delicious tacos together!
The sun does not forget the village just because it is small.
