Editor's Notes
- #20: The decision to have attendees install Android Studio on their computers beforehand is up to your preference. Option 1: You can have attendees install Android Studio as part of the hands-on codelabs. There are instructions within the two tracks for students to install Android Studio. This will take up more time during your session, but will allow them to ask questions if they need help with the install and set up process. Option 2: You could ask attendees to install Android Studio on their own before attending a session. Just be sure to let them know that this is expected of them prior to the session. These instructions may be useful.
