[TECH ED] Prepare for Final Projects

### Link to the coursework

https://curriculum.codeyourfuture.io/the-launch/

### Why are we doing this?

If you want to graduate, you've got to join a cross functional Agile team building a full stack web application over four weeks.

Find the entry and exit criteria for the Launch module and review it.

### To prepare:

1. Read the curriculum! What does it tell you about Final Projects?
2. Grab the starter kit and get a version deployed and running (there are guides on the curriculum to help you, and there's a wiki on the starter kit with all the common problems.)
3. Attend a Merge Conflicts workshop
4. Read up on [small scoped feature branching](https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/comparing-workflows/feature-branch-workflow)
5. Take a look at some [successful Final Projects](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1B1Gmume1gJScZZoqehap_kgZKXOy-AIgx7gLVLfjzKQ/edit?usp=sharing); look at their [project boards](https://github.com/orgs/Logic-Legends/projects/1) and especially notice [velocity](https://github.com/musayuksel/Goal-app-CYF-final-project/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aclosed) -- you should be opening a small PR at least once a day during final projects, not one a week.
