What Makes Network School Awesome:
Reflections after spending July at @ns the key aspects were:
1. A critical mass of builders
2. A critical mass of mentors
3. An app to connect builders & mentors easily
4. Close physical proximity makes multiple interactions per day easy

5. Spending long enough in proximity to build deep relationships with people and understand their skills / who is an expert in what.
6. A Wiki and other mechanisms to record the best practices of life and work.
7. A team offering practical support to enable a life/work balance

8. Close proximity to a good gym and a cultural expectation to exercise every day.
9. Regular weekly communication about the broader goal and vision and progress of NS.
10. Food, events, and sports to enrich everyday.

I’d definitely rank my Network School experience among my top 10 life experiences.
It’s awesome for families.
I feel healthy, invigorated, and inspired as I move into the rest of the year.
I feel like I’ve got a new cohort of peers on similar missions to build a better world.

The coolest part was in the last week when everything was changing…
Everyone from the July Cohort participants, to the Long Termers, to the NS Core Team kept adapting and working to support everyone during the transition and looking forward to what comes next.
NS for life.

Robots were built, drones were flown, and learn, burn, earn and most of all fun was had by all.
