watch recording of lab# 1.
we just had our first lab. definitely watch it if you feel like you're struggling with coming up with a good one-liner.
we reviewed a ton of ppl's slides. it was pretty fun. we had a live audience giving feedback too.
don't worry if you missed it, you can watch the recordings here.
catch up.
week 1 update is monday, june 24 @ 11:59 pm pt extended till thursday, june 27 @11:59 pm pt.
you gotta watch the first lecture to fully understand what all is needed for the first week. the link to the recording is in the os.
the weekly update is a simple form you fill out each week on sage, check it out real quick and scroll through it to get an idea of what you gotta submit.
if you are on a team, everyone in the team must submit individually.
required steps for weekly update #1.
01 — get the template for making your idea slide.
first, you'll need to create your idea slide on canva via the template we used in the lecture.
here's the wide template for twitter + linkedin.
here's the vertical template for instagram + tiktok.
we gotchu if you prefer to use figma.
here are some instructions on how to use canva if you've never used it before. it's pretty straightforward.
02 — post it on instagram/x/linkedin or wherever so we + others can see :)
we want you to get the idea out of your head and into the world.
be brave!
feel free to get creative, you can do something as polished as this, or quick as this.
optional: if you want your post to get more visibility — you can tag @_buildspace or @_nightsweekends for twitter + instagram, @buildspace on linkedin.
i recommend you "cc" us like below.
a note on instagram.
we're gonna have "add yours" templates on our nights and weekends accounts stories btw.
we're just gonna vibe there and chill. so, drop by and share your whatever you're working on if you want :)
03 — give feedback to 3 others.
go ahead and publicly give 3 other individuals feedback on their idea on twitter , instagram, or linkedin. simply reply to their idea slide and give them your honest take about their idea.
don't just say: "great idea!" or "wow!"
actually comment on ideas you truly have real feedback on, or have interest in. tell people what you really think.
and if you wanna actually use/be a part of what someone is building or be an early user — let them know!
optional: we also got instagram reels.
we know most of you haven't made a reel /short ever.
its scary as hell and you don't wanna be cringe.
don't just post the idea slide with music. actually explain what you're working on.
you should take this shot. you never know what may happen…
plus -- it's simple af, and you should take a shot.
the template is the idea slide you opened in canva earlier.
that's all! if you have questions or want help, ping s5@buildspace.so.
