Why this helps
New learners face first-week overwhelm and drop out. They don't know where to find beginner-friendly help. Welcome feels cold.
- Welcome packet removes first-week overwhelm by curating entry points to learning
- Learners feel supported and thought-through from day 1, not abandoned
- Beginner-focused resources reduce discouragement from advanced questions
- Reduces first-week dropout by lowering activation energy to start learning
