Overview

  • We will take on some trainees (generally 2nd years with minimal coding experience outside university)

    • They are allocated to a Project team at the start to be kept in the loop on everything

  • Trainees split into groups with other trainees and work on a mini-project to build skills before fully joining their main Project team

    • Goal is to learn React + an API + a DB

Timeline

This is completely customisable based on your team’s needs

Week 1 - React Basics

  • GOAL: Have a basic todo-list done by end of the week (with some modifications).

  • Everyone participates in the Project-wide React training React Workshop

    • Trainees will of course need extra attention from their team leads

Week 2 - API + DB

  • GOAL: Some API/DB knowledge + start thinking about mini-project

  • Learn about API requests (Recommend FastAPI)

  • Learn about DB (Recommend MongoDB)

  • Mini-project outline given Custom Todo List (Customisable Todolist with Weather/Map API and DB)

If your team wants to use another API, DB or even do another Project, go for it!

Week 3 Onwards - Project Work

  • Continue working on project whilst discussing with each other and with the help of their leads, mentors, team, others.

Week X - Finished

  • Project is presented to subcom

Week X + 1 - Back to Team

  • With their newly developed skills (and friendships!) they will head back to their teams

 

Communication

  • Private Trainee discord space where they can ask questions and work on their project

    • Only visible to Training Leads, Team Leads, Directors, CSESoc

    • Rationale is they might feel safer asking for help this way

    • Might need to redirect them to the public #stack-overflow if we cannot keep up with demand

  • Encourage them to ask questions (no matter how stupid)

 

 

[ARCHIVED] Possible Project Ideas

  • Something to do with timetable + handbook scraping and displaying the info? - @Mun Joon Teo (Unlicensed)

  • A CSESoc Projects website displaying all our Projects?

    • Seems like this would just be FE lol

  • Something to do with walking distances on campus. Map with campus buildings. Click between 2 buildings to calculate walking distance. Leaderboard showing who walked the most on campus or something. - @Mun Joon Teo (Unlicensed)
