What is an Intro Project?
An intro project is a project in which an experienced Fire Escape member shows a first-timer the ropes and teaches them what they need to know to make it big, keep it safe, and break as few things as possible. Intro projects come in all ways and kinds. During the fall, we coordinate quite a few Intro Projects, tailored specifically to teaching newbies. In Winter and Spring, newcomers have the alternative of joining a “real” project for their Intro Project—so long as the person in charge has agreed to take them on—or of seeking someone out to mentor them on a project of their own. The Education Chair coordinates Intro Projects, so if you want to get Intro-Project’d up and you missed the fall rush, send him an e-mail and he’ll set you up.
