hacktechgo-2018's Issues

Add planning to the README.md file (either as a link to another file or as a table)

Planning easily visible from the project description page

Since it is central to the project, the same planning available as Google Spreadsheet should be copied here. That will also make sure that it won't be lost, while a Google Document could due to change of permissions or just by being deleted.

Definition of done

• when planning reproduced as markdown table here in his repo.

Next steps

• complete the table with all the material and resources used to each topic/course/project.

Measuring impact of HackTechGO!

How to measure the impact and success of each HackTechGO! project?

Each evaluation should be a measurable objective.

• Project 06: How many of the students/attendees completed their CV and deployed it online using Github Pages? (Follow the 2 attendees out of XX signed participants)
• Project 07:
• Project 08:
• Project 09:
• Project 10:
• Project 11:
• Project 12:

How this concrete projects fill in the objectives of the entire HackTechGo! project?

Similar to CodeRefinery (https://coderefinery.org/#impact), we should come up with a survey to help measure the short-term (survey 01: right after the season) and long-term impact of HackTechGO! (surveys 02 and 03 respectively 3-months & 6-months after the season).

It should show:

• how former participants use various software development tools after attending a workshop,
• how their code and collaboration with colleagues has changed,
• gather statistics on the attendees to improve over time and to better adapt to the audience.

Definition of done

• Discuss in the group what questions to include in the survey(s)
• Create generic questions recurrent in all 3 surveys
• Gather anonymized answers in this repo

Next steps

• collect & analyze these statistics and feedback from former participants to improve the next seasons.

PROJECT #11 - Smart mirror

Prepare content, slides, electronics++ for building a Smart Mirror

Definition of done

• Ali got funding to buy the material for this project, but it should not be given away to be reused for nex time. Can we give the possibility to the student to "buy" one of the set that they will build during the course and simply order the ones that will be re-used?
• Checklist of material to order SOON!! (checklist)
• Test code
• Write detailed description of steps used when building it. Questions and issues we raise while making it should also be part of the description.
• Replicate the mirror once in advance if time allows!

Next steps

• How to evaluate the success of the workshop?
• How this concrete project fill in the objectives of the entire HackTechGo! project?
