Brainstorm session 17 May 2017

To see the notes of what we discussed last time please check Unmesh's notes

Today:

  • We have two employers joining us to talk about their experience working with our students
  • We have three graduated students dropping by to tell us about their experiences working/doing an internship after graduating HYF.

Evaluate

  • We would like to look back since the last session what has been done since then. What has changed?
    • There is an hopefully clear overview of the HYF curriculum.
    • All Modules are linked in there and module goals have been added to give students and teachers a good idea about what is expected from them to teach/know at the end of every module.
    • All students now have to prepare before they come to class with reading material or a video. This is also documented in the module repositories
    • We are working on recording all our classes (links in the repo's as well) and posting it on YouTube.
    • There is an Alumni Wiki that tells you step by step how to land your first developer job (optimize your CV, how to prepare for an interview etc.).
    • We've had two Masterclasses/Alumni sessions (Security event and the Datastrcutures class that is going on now) since the last meeting.
    • For the last few months Erol and Natan have been working with some of the Alumni on the Generala App. An project that Alumni (with or without a job) can join to improve their skill set.
    • We've done (tech)interview training with Martijn, Tim and Walla to prepare our students before they go into actual interviews (we still need to evaluate this with the students who did this).
    • Feedback after every module from students on quality of teaching/module content

Future work

  • What we are currently working on:

    • Slack bot for administrative, feedback, test purposes.
    • Clear teaching vision (learning practices)
    • incorporate best learning practices in curriculum. For example:
      • Spaced practice (you learn more with the same amount of time) short study sessions (read questions or assignments via bot) make you learn more effectively. Review information form each class starting a day later. Then go back and study older information to keep it fresh.
      • Switch switch between ideas to show the singularities between topics or types of questions.
      • Ask explain & connect why and how questions.
      • etc.
    • Clear profile graduated HYF students

  • What else can we improve?

    • This is where you guys make all sorts of suggestions

  • What are your ideas where HYF should focus on in the coming year? Things to keep in mind:

    • We have to keep on finding good candidates (this could be an issue)
    • We want to keep the value of the community/team
    • We want to keep the value of the content/curriculum that we created
