🧑🏾‍🤝‍🧑🏾 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

  1. Interviewer: Cold call a random person and ask them an interview question. Choose an ordinary question.

  2. Interviewee: You must give a terrible answer to this question (keep it clean, please!). Then cold call another person to be the interviewer.

  3. 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.

Module 4: Use AI responsibly

🔗 Use AI responsibly by mitigating unfair biases and inaccuracies.

By the end of this module, you will gain an understanding of how to use AI responsibly and effectively, and a checklist to help you do it.

🫖 Afternoon Break

Please feel comfortable and welcome to pray at this time if this is part of your religion.

If you are breastfeeding and would like a private space, please let us know.

🔗 The Roles Project

AI Essentials

This track is delivered in partnership with the Centre for Public Impact. Funded by CPI as part of the Google.org AI Opportunity Fund. The classes for this track cover this course:

https://www.coursera.org/learn/google-ai-essentials

There is a miniature website deployed from this repository, which is a learning resource for students. It is a series of role-play exercises where students take on the roles of hiring managers, interviewers, and candidates. The website is a series of markdown files that are rendered into a website using Hugo.

To view the website, visit: https://cyf-roles.netlify.app/

To run the website locally (not required to complete this project), please read https://common.codeyourfuture.io

🎉 Wrap

You are done for the day. Take a moment to reflect on what you have learned and achieved.

Stand in a circle and share:

  • 📛 your name
  • 💪🏽 one thing you achieved today
  • 👷🏾 the task you are going to work on next
  • 🛟 one thing you need help with

Give yourselves a round of applause. Now you have earned your rest. Usually people go for a cup of tea or a pint after class. You are welcome to join and wind down together.
