We had 12 mentors volunteer initially although more joined as the event progressed.
We had 12 mentors sign up initially. We had about 150 people apply to attend the sessions. We selected on programming skill (to ensure that all attendees were complete beginners), enthusiasm, and randomly to maintain a learner to mentor ratio of between 4 and 5. We admitted just over 50 participants.▼

Our feeling was that nearly every student who came to the first week (Sessions 0 and 1) came to Session 2. Retention between the second two sessions was much worse with perhaps only 60% of the full group returning for session 3. We attribute this both to poor timing (the weekend before finals at UW) and to the long space between the sessions.▼
