Wilhelm Klopp, a University College London student and creator of the popular Slack integration Simple Poll, spent a summer as a Developer Relations Intern with GitHub Education, where he initiated the "GitHub Field Day" event at GitHub HQ in San Francisco. The event aimed to address the challenge of knowledge transfer within student communities by bringing together tech student leaders to share insights and experiences. The successful launch of Field Day, which included branding, announcements, and logistics, attracted significant interest and participation from students eager to enhance their community-building skills and foster inter-campus connections. The event featured discussions on topics like learning design for coding beginners and developing group identities, and it even included an impromptu Q&A with GitHub’s Senior Vice President of Technology. Field Day has since expanded to multiple events globally, continuing its mission of empowering student tech leaders.
