Leading a local ProtoSchool workshop? This is a place for you to find resources, from advice to swag to presentation materials.
Subscribe to the ProtoSchool newsletter, being sure to check the box to receive local leadership updates. These targeted, occasional emails will include tips on hosting events, presentation resources, info on any new swag, etc.
Please share newsletter link (https://proto.school/news) at your local events so that attendees can stay up to date as well. Those who don't check the box for leadership updates will receive emails only when we launch new tutorials or major site features.
One of the best resources for hosting a successful ProtoSchool workshop is the experience of other local leaders. Check out the discussion tag in our issue queue to find conversations about best practices for event planning and more. For example, there's a discussion issue all about planning your first ProtoSchool event. Feel free to open a new issue to share what's working well for you!
While you're at it, take a minute to introduce yourself to your fellow organizers!
At IPFS Camp in 2019, three of our local organizers -- (@NukeManDan from Denver, USA, @kk3wong from Hong Kong, and @stefanhans from Munich -- Germany) led an elective workshop on stewarding a local IPFS community, which included tips both for leading effective ProtoSchool workshops and running local Meetup groups. Check out the slides!
We take pride in creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for all ProtoSchool community members, both online and at live events. To that end, we have a global Code of Conduct for the ProtoSchool community as a whole, as well as requiring event organizers to provide and enforce one for each individual event.
As an event organizer, you're responsible for maintaing your event's Code of Conduct, outlining clear reporting procedures for violations, and responding to reports of any concerning incidents. In addition to providing contact details for reporting incidents to your event leadership team, your Code of Conduct will also need to mention our global ProtoSchool Code of Conduct and note that your attendees have the option of reporting your local organizing team to the global ProtoSchool team if you violate the Code of Conduct yourself or fail to address reports appropriately. (See suggested wording.)
We've created a local Code of Conduct template that you are welcome to adapt for your events and which already includes those references. However, you're also welcome to create your own Code of Conduct from scratch or update an existing one you've been using for your educational group. Check out our detailed guidance for both approaches.
There are a lot of great resources on why Codes of Conduct are important and how you can navigate any issues that may arise.

We've created a ProtoSchool slide deck template which you may copy and use to create slides for events that teach our ProtoSchool tutorials (see our event guidelines). It includes a wide variety of adaptable slide formats and icons. All files are shared as view only to prevent accidental edits to the template. Please be sure to replace any default presenter names, headshots, etc. with your own information.
The slides are available in a variety of formats:
- PowerPoint (click the download icon near the top right of the screen)
- Keynote (click the download icon near the top right of the screen)
- Google Slides
- Preview file (can be viewed without a Google login, but you will not be able to edit or copy the file)
- Make a copy (while logged in with a Google account, click the "Make a copy" button to create a copy in your own Google Drive folder)
Whether you're building an event website or a slide deck for your next qualified ProtoSchool workshop, you may want to include the ProtoSchool logo. You can find design files in both SVG and PNG formats, as well as a favicon image for your event website, in our assets directory.
Looking for some educational materials in a more traditional format to supplement your hands-on ProtoSchool workshops at other events organized by your group?
