🌍 Post about your Bootcamp experience
- We invite you to re-post and like our posts, such as our post-Bootcamp wrap-up post.
- Share a post on your LinkedIn profile celebrating your achievements during
the Bootcamp!
- You can use your team’s photo posted on the # red-carpet channel on the
Bootcamp Discord server or the photo collage from the Award Ceremony
to illustrate your experience and can also include a link to your team’s
published Solution Portfolio.
- Feel free to personalise your post so that it reflects your own experience
but here are some ideas to consider when you’re drafting your post:
- Give context — remember, this post will likely be seen by people
who have never participated in a How to Change the World
program. Have you made it clear what the Bootcamp involved and
why you took part?
- Share three things you’ve learned from the experience. Sticking to
three things keeps your post punchy and memorable while still
sharing engaging details. If you draft the post after working through
the reflection guidance we’ve shared, you should have plenty of
learnings to help you get started.
- Tag **How to Change the World** — If you type “@ How to Change the
World” into the text box, our account should appear in a dropdown.
Select the company name and it should pop into the text box. We’ll
keep an eye out for your posts and reshare them with our
community so that your words and achievements reach as many
eyes as possible!
