Ping@Embedded Flight Software(EFS) Lead in #bootcamp-efs and let us know which onboarding session you are going to be attending and what time you plan on being there (will only take about 20 mins)! There will be online Thursdays from 2000 to 2030 EST on discord. If you can’t make any those times, fill out a LettuceMeet https://lettucemeet.com/ for the next week with your availability. Feel free to attach any resumes or links to projects in the thread that’s created for you!
During the meeting Chris, Derek, Hardy or Ayoung want to know about the following:
Tell us about what kind of person you are
Why are you interested in the team
What do you hope to do on the team (higher level software, or low level firmware?)
What are your previous experiences.
During the meeting, we will introduce the bootcamp. When you’re done the bootcamp, open a pull request and expect changes to be requested! This process should take 1-2 weeks, Feel free to use the thread thats created for you to ask questions and reach out to efs team members for help.
Reminder that this bootcamp can be tricky for those with no experience with STM32 or embedded systems. Please ask for help when you get stuck (we’ve all asked for help doing this or similar tasks, even senior members). This is meant to be a tutorial, not a test, so we’re expecting you to have issues and questions, and we want to help you through this.
After your bootcamp is complete see New Member Onboardingand follow the instructions there.

Upon the approved completion of the bootcamp by a sub team lead and then the directions in New Member Onboarding you are now eligible to work on other tasks related to the ZeroPilot & EFS! If you have any feedback you would like to give to make this Bootcamp better please let a team lead know as we want this to be the best and most informative introduction to the team as possible.
