If you run into someone while you're networking, interviewing, etc. who is unfamiliar with GA, here's a quick boilerplate that explains what we do at GA.

General Assembly (GA) is a licensed school and accelerated learning program focused on the most relevant and in-demand skills across tech, data, design, and business. GA works with students in person and online across 25 campuses in 6 countries. With an education-to-employment approach, GA focuses on learning through application and helps students level up their skills or launch a new career in their field of study.

Beyond this description, I would emphasize the specific skills, softwares/technologies, etc. that you are learning in your program as well as your immersive learning experience - you are learning how to learn and adapt quickly! You have dropped everything to take this program and are immediately putting your new skills into practice through your projects. Tell them your story!
