It’s been a busy couple of months for us here at North. We made some significant changes to the Handbook and our rank-up process, based on learnings from our initial batches. We revamped our activity and benefits structure. We created new sessions like the Code Showcase and the Video Intro, and we’re in the middle of updating our North Profile to reflect all program modifications.

But, most importantly, we’ve just officially onboarded our first 25 members! 🎉
