Introduction

Over the last decade, the hacker scene grew exponentially. In old times, you could learn everything, today you have to be a specialist in one field find something new. Additionally, the scene became highly fragmented. Old hackers don't the newcomers and the other way around.

This workshop tries to connect the old hackers with their wisdom with the young aspiring hackers.

The whole process will be guided, so no experience in mentoring, coaching etc. is necessary.

All you need to do is:

- come on time
- think about what you could teach somebody that you are
  good at and have experience (to be a mentor)
- think about what really interests you and where you
  need help (to be a mentee)

The topic of the mentorship can be as broad as "I want to be a hacker" and specific as to "I want to learn how to build a 3d printer on my own and understand how it works".
