# Meetings

## Weekly Syncs

Each week, you’ll join a 30–45 minute sync call with your assigned homegroup. These sessions are designed to keep you accountable, create space for discussion and peer learning, and help you connect concepts to real development work. 

**What Happens in a Sync Call**

* Homegroup check-ins and progress sharing
* Faculty walkthrough of key concepts or exercises
* Q\&A and open discussion
* Optional student demos or mini-presentations

**How to Prepare**

* Make solid progress on your Exercism exercises
* Attempt the Builders add-on task
* Be ready to share what you learned and where you’re stuck
* Show up on time — cameras are encouraged but optional

**Schedule**

* Each homegroup has a fixed weekly day and time
* Check your Discord channel or calendar invite for your group’s specific schedule
* Calls take place on Google Meet or Jitsi

## Office Hours

We host weekly, text-based office hours on Discord.

**How Office Hours Work**

* A thread is posted at the start of office hours
* Drop your questions, code snippets, screenshots, or blockers
* Faculty respond in real time
* Can’t join live? Post your questions anytime — responses may come later.
* We’ll send two reminders: one a day-before as a quick heads-up, and 1 hour before, which is the final nudge to join in. 

**Schedule**

* Timeline: Thursdays, 5–6 PM WAT
* Location: `#language-clubs` channel

**Archive**

All office hour threads are pinned, so it’s easy to catch up or search past answers
