Welcome to the Make School family! We're absolutely thrilled to bring you on board!
We'll see you in a few short weeks, but until then, we've prepared some tasks for you in this environment setup tutorial that will set you up for success at Make School. We'll cover how to set up your laptop so that you're ready to start coding.

Learning Outcomes
During your time at Make School, you'll see learning outcomes throughout your tutorials, courses, and lessons. Think of these as the skills you are gaining that will allow you to excel in your software engineering career.

It's a great practice to self reflect on these learning outcomes any time you complete a tutorial, lesson, or course, and see if you met the learning outcomes. If you didn't, talk to your peers, instructor, or coach to figure out what you can do to achieve these outcomes
By the end of this tutorial, you should be able to...
- Set up your development environment to be coding ready
- Describe Make School's academic policies
[action]
Reflect on these as you complete each chapter. Are you meeting these outcomes?
