Guatemalan Guests at HTML5 Study Group

With Peter, Colt, and Sean at the HTML5 study group!

There’s been a lot of buzz around our weekly HTML5 study group, where course instructors Peter Lubbers, Colt McAnis and Sean Bennett are on hand to review the latest lesson and talk through questions submitted by students. We have a good time – dinner (thanks, Google!), chatting with classmates, and of course, talking about game development and HTML5, all add up to a great evening.

This past Monday, we had surprise guests – two students from Guatemala, Dennis and Edwin, flew into San Francisco on a school break to attend the study group in person!

Meet Dennis and Edwin:

Dennis is an engineer and also teaches information security and programming at Mariano Galvez University in Guatemala. Edwin will graduate in two weeks from Galileo University with a degree in Engineering, and will begin working as a developer.

With Sean at Udacity’s office!

Dennis and Edwin, thanks for visiting!

This surprise visit is a warm reminder that Udacity courses are full of passionate students who are committed to learning, and committed to connecting as a community.

Learning and connecting come together in our study groups, which you can find through our forums, Meetup communities, and a new student initiative called Course Pods, which connects CS101 learners in weekly student-led tutorials. If you’re taking CS101 in the Bay Area and are interested in a weekly in-person tutorial to review extra examples, check out our previous blog post!
