Twilio Superclass

A resource for Twilio Superclass workshops 🎉😄

🤔 What is a Twilio "Superclass"?

Superclass is self-directed training for developers who want to level up their Twilio skills.

On-site mentors will guide you through a self-paced, choose-your-own-adventure coding experience that’s built on Twilio’s education platform: TwilioQuest.

Superclass Highlights from SIGNAL 2018

📆 Upcoming Superclasses

• Superclass at Hack Arizona Jan. 18-20, 2019 in Tucson, AZ
