==Contributions Workshop==
 
The Contributions Workshop is constantly being improved upon. Currently, it's pretty straightforward.
[https://openhatch.org/wiki/First_Tasks Here is the link for the Princeton event.]
 
1) One or more organizers presents the [[First Tasks]] page and explains how to use it.
2) Local project leads as well as remote maintainers (via hangout or something similar) explain their projects in 2-5 minutes.
3) Attendees start looking through and contributing to projects while local project leads get together in small groups with interested students. The other project leads float.
4) After about 15-20 minutes, if any students are stuck (and some will be), they can do the [https://github.com/openhatch/open-source-comes-to-campus/blob/master/handouts/FindingProjects_Student_Handout.odt Finding a Project] activity.
 
We're working on brainstorming additional activities for attendees who get stuck. We're also planning to create a short guide for mentors to give them advice about how to approach students who need help but aren't asking for it (a common problem).
