PAGE UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Hello! We're so glad you're here.

So you've probably just showed up. Maybe you've joined our slack workspace. (If you haven't, do that right now, right here:) You have probably discovered that SSI is flabbergastingly huge, and you might not know exactly where to get started. Well, here's your chance. Here are the three things you need to know to understand SSI.

1. SSI teaches by doing. Basically, we're made up of a ton of projects. You can join any project at any time and people are expected to teach you everything you need to know - if you don't feel comfortable or supported on any of them, SSI is doing things wrong. 2. Want to know more? We've got a whole series of engineering workshops throughout the fall to help you get a head start! 3. If that's not enough, we have community events nearly every week - stop by, hang out, and maybe get some PSET help! 4. SSI is large. There's a lot going on. You don't have to do all or even most of the things in SSI - in fact, if you can, please give us some tips.

Sounds good? Below, check out some optional content that we have, including useful guides and quick catch-ups on some of SSI's most interesting moving parts.
