30 minutes for 30 days challenge
Together with a friend we will be doing a fun challenge between ourselves throughout April (1.4. – 30.4) starting next week on friday. We want to get better at the things we are interested in and just have fun. I decided to mainly do FreeCAD related projects.
Goal
The goal of this challenge is to create something for 30 minutes every day for the duration of this challenge. The challenge lasts for 30 days. I only have 30 minutes each day, so the projects will reflect that. Its all about consistency and fun.
Purpose
The purpose for this challenge is to create an opportunity for my friend and me to experiment around guilt-free, without the fear of wasting time, with what we are interested in.
What I am going to build
Because the purpose of this challenge is to experiment around I have not yet decided what I will build each day. I will decide that on each day. However, I am very certain that I am going to create FreeCAD related projects.
Where will the projects from this challenge be posted
All the projects from each day of this challenge will be posted in the FreeCAD Powerusers group on facebook and in this blog. My friend will be posting his projects created for this challenge on his blog Domars blog on programming. He is currently learning development of blockchain apps.
How to participate in this challenge
This challenge is generally to challenge ourselves. If you want to participate just create your own projects each day and post them somewhere on the internet. I will be viewing posts from others on this challenge in the FreeCAD Powerusers group on facebook.
