## Description

Hackathons, live coding, and interactive tutorials are all familiar cornerstones of DevRel practices we all know, but have you ever paused to consider why they resonate so deeply with developers, or why sometimes it feels like they just don’t work with your community? Join former classroom teachers Andrew and Pj as they unravel the educational theories underpinning these—and many more—of your favorite DevRel activities. Join us to gain insights into how developer outreach teams can leverage practical teaching theory to craft more impactful, inclusive, and effective community-building initiatives and activities. Together, we will discover how the science of learning can, and should, empower and inform the art of developer relations.
