Dear all,
the EF has been kindly invited to participate to the
"Semesters of Code" program that is being organized by
Stephen Walli from Microsoft. He has created and will be
teaching a course in the Carnegie Mellon University (Qatar
campus) next summer and would like to provide an
internship-like experience over the 10-week duration of the
course.
For this initiative, we are looking for interested
mentors and project ideas! (Stephen already has
some students lined-up).
Here are some general guidelines regarding the program:
- Duration: 10 weeks. The course runs from mid-May to end
of July. The students will be in class together in Doha, Qatar
(GMT+3) for the first six weeks, the last four weeks the
course will take place using Zoom.
- Project teams will be conformed by 3-5 students, that
could tackle together a project with a couple of mentors for
each project.
- Mentors are expected to meet students once a week for an
hour (via any video conference setup folks want to use), and
to be available by email during the rest of the week.
- Projects will be posted on the first day of class, and the
students will self-select their projects. Student teams are
introduced to their mentors in the first week of class and
expected to organize that first meeting to begin the project
learning curve. That’s when mentors point students at any
tutorials and bootstrap materials, recommended getting started
materials, etc.
- Student's expectations: they will be spending 20-40 hours of
time per week on the project. It is an internship-like
experience.
Classes are taught three days a week for 50 minutes, and
teachers also provide a coaching session with each team to
ensure they are working with the mentors well.
Mentors have a lot of freedom to experiment.
Kind regards,
Maria Teresa Delgado
