How do you get an invitation to the Fast Track Slack team?

Thanks! I'm not in the EU or a scholarship student, but that Slack team sounds great -- it would improve my experience of the Fast Track program a lot if it also included the opportunity to be part of an actual community of students.

Hm, you are right. It isn't the Associate Android Developer Fast Track Slack Team but the Android Scholarships Slack Team. We have a very active community there (~1000 people, ~250 people on the certification exam channel). I am not sure if you can join unless you are in the EU Android Scholarship students, but I'll ask one of our forum mentors.

I asked one of our forum mentors. Currently, the EU Scholarship Slack Team is only available for the Scholarship members. He does not aware of Fast Track giving you access to a Slack channel. Scholarship students get some extras like the Slack channel, the hackathons, and for selected cities face-to-face connect sessions. Maybe in the future they will provide these things to regular Fast Track students too.

He knows that there is a Android Nanodegree Slack Team that was opened by the students. Maybe that is what you mentioned (androidnanodegree.slack.com). I am not member of that team so I do not know. Of course the coach-supported forum is there for questions, but I agree on that Slack is better for quick questions/answers (although it is not really searchable).

I am sorry. If you think that I can help you, feel free to contact me (contact info).

We discussed the possibilities in email, but the scholarship has ended. I close this issue.
