🧑🏾🤝🧑🏾 Team Meeting
Learning Objectives
Led by 🎩 Meeting Leader
Before you came to class today, you should have completed the prep and signed the Trainee Agreement and the Code of Conduct. Please now make sure you have signed the register. Sign it as soon as you come in. The register isn’t just for attendance rules; we need to know who is in the building if there’s a fire, so please don’t sign in for anyone else.
We will start with a team meeting. We will introduce ourselves, identify the tasks we will take on for the day, and review the plan for our day together.
Today we will do two workshops on the Google AI Essentials course. The trainer is an experienced specialist who can really help us get the most out of this course.
After the workshops, we will work on the Roles project together.
Then we will wrap and go for a cup of tea together.
But first, let’s get to know each other. Everyone put your hands in the air. Wiggle those fingers! Meeting Leader, please begin by saying hello and then:
- your name
- what task you are responsible for today (like 🥪 Lunch, ⏰ Timekeeper, etc)
- one thing you are looking forward to today
Then point to someone else and ask them to do the same. Keep going until everyone has said hello and put their hands down.
🤦♂️ Bad Interview Answers
Learning Objectives
Setup
Grab a list of common interview questions from somewhere like Coursera.
Game
Interviewer: Cold call a random person and ask them an interview question. Choose an ordinary question.
Interviewee: You must give a terrible answer to this question (keep it clean, please!). Then cold call another person to be the interviewer.
Interviewer: Give absolutely straight-faced feedback. If you laugh, you’re out and must nominate another player to complete your feedback and return the game to step 1.
🧑🏿🏫 Trainer Led Workshop
Learning Objectives
Today we will do workshops on the Google AI Essentials course. The trainer is an experienced specialist who can really help us get the most out of this course.
You should already have completed the online modules for this course. The trainer will help you to understand the content, develop and apply the skills, and answer any questions you have.
Module 3: Discover the art of prompting
🔗 Write effective prompts to get the output you want. Learn how to incorporate prompting techniques, such as few-shot prompting, into your work. Understand how generative AI tools produce output and the importance of evaluating output before using it. By the end of this module, you will be able to write clear and specific prompts and produce outputs that help accomplish workplace tasks.
🍽️ Community Lunch
Every Saturday we cook and eat together. We share our food and our stories. We learn about each other and the world. We build community.
This is everyone’s responsibility, so help with what is needed to make this happen, for example, organising the food, setting up the table, washing up, tidying up, etc. You can do something different every week. You don’t need to be constantly responsible for the same task.

The Roles Project 🔗
Link to the coursework
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. You’ve already taken on one role, and now it’s time to take on another. If you’re a hiring manager this sprint, how will your experience as a recruiter inform your work? If you’re a candidate this sprint, also remember what it was like to be an interviewer last week! Help each other out, but also achieve your goal.
Your role this sprint
For this project to work, you can’t all do the same role at the same time. If your birthday is Q1, start with Hiring manager on sprint 2.
| Birthday Quarter | Roles in Sprint 2 |
|---|---|
| Jan, Feb, Mar | Hiring Manager |
| Apr, May, Jun | Interviewer |
| Jul, Aug, Sep | Candidate, Recruiter |
| Oct, Nov, Dec | Recruiter, Hiring Manager |

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?
You absolutely can ask questions in the Slack channel and CYF mentors will help you - they just won’t be there in class as this track is delivered by our partners.
How to submit
You must produce at least one artefact per role. The documents are described in the role assignments. Any submissions are also described there.
