What is Slack?
Slack is a modern chat platform that teams worldwide use to communicate and collaborate in real time. It’s designed to make staying connected simple and flexible.
Why does Winc Academy use Slack?
We believe a strong community is key to effective learning, and Slack helps us create that sense of community, even at a distance. On Slack, you’ll find a space where you can connect with others, get support, and exchange ideas.
You’ll be able to chat in real-time, get help from mentors, and share your insights with other students. Development teams across industries use Slack for daily communication, and so do we—it’s a tool you’ll likely encounter in your career.
