Binary Trees! If you're interviewing for an engineering role, you've probably been asked to solve questions based on them & they can be tricky. Many boot campers, career switchers, & self-taught engineers have felt unsure when facing off against this data structure in role pre-screening, in remote timed code challenges, & in on-site interviews, Write/Speak/Code, PyLadies, & SeatGeek are here to help.

In this language agnostic beginner friendly workshop, well teach you some binary tree basics & then you'll get practical experience working through some common algorithm challenges with mentor support. You'll leave with the foundation you need to tackle binary trees in your next interview.
