Only cards as swag?

[polroti]

Hi,
I got a card today from GitHub education. But not sure if that's the only "swag" we're supposed to get.

@elisemoe Please kindly respond

@Manoj997 can you show me the back of the card?

Trading card? Here you go..

So as mentioned by @elisemoe in #10441 , The trading card is the swag. This is disappointing for most of us but that is the reality. The batch of 2020 got Github water bottles and a sticker pack but we do not deserve such "swag".
Sad indeed. But anyway thank you so much for everyone with @education for arranging this.

Closing this.

I'll definitely talk with the team about what we can do to make things better next year! Disappointment is not a feeling we want anyone to have receiving swag, especially during a moment to celebrate everything you've achieved over the past few years! Congrats again 💖

For graduation 2020, the general level of swag included the same card as this year and stickers. For a variety of other challenges, such as writing a blog post on DEV.to, grads could receive additional swag such as the water bottle.

Rightly said @Manoj997, I'd have definitely loved to see at least a Github sticker pack in the shipment having waited for almost an year. @elisemoe

(P.S. I've still not received the swag but have filled the replacement form. Waiting with my fingers crossed.)
