Why are we doing this?

You will act as a self organising team during this track. A qualified trainer will arrive to deliver two AI workshops as shown on the day plan, but your team will take ownership and…

  1. Run the morning meeting
  2. Lead the energiser
  3. Act as timekeeper to keep everyone following the day plan
  4. Welcome the trainer when they arrive
  5. Organise lunch (four people)
  6. Facilitate the Roles project session
  7. Lead the wrap

There are seven tasks to do each week and three weeks to cover, so everyone should do at least one task. In the first week all tasks will be assigned randomly. For the next two weeks, you will negotiate a rota between yourselves.

Go to your Slack channel to find the rota for the first class day. Prepare to carry out your task on the day. Discuss in the channel how to assign the rest of the tasks. This can just be as simple as a spreadsheet where people sign their name next to a task.

4. Complete one Role in the Roles project 🔗 Clone

4. Complete one Role in the Roles project 🔗

https://cyf-roles.netlify.app/roles/

Why are we doing this?

As you explore the Google AI Essentials course, you will apply what you are learning to this project. In Roles you will act as different people participating in the hiring process. Each role has its own perspective through which you are seeing the same information. You’ll come to understand:

  • why recruiters only spend six seconds reading a CV
  • why interviewers don’t always pick the “best coder”
  • what drives the use of AI to filter out your application before a human ever sees it
  • why your cover letter reads just like everyone else’s

…And many other things besides. You must take on all 4 roles during your three weeks of this course. So you will need to find efficiencies to get through the work.

Starting role

For this project to work, you can’t all do the same role at the same time. Therefore, we will assign based on quarters of the year. If your birthday is Q1, start with Recruiter on sprint 1.

How to get help

There isn’t a mentor to lead your team: all trainees must work together to complete the project. How will you share the work so you can get it all done? What tips can you share with each other? How can teamwork, including robot friends, help?

How to submit

You must produce at least one artefact per role. The documents are described in the role assignments.
