Mentoring

12 week planned internship starting May 17th
4 weeks onboarding onto helios
8 weeks sprints on main project
Slack channel for intern help and discussion, #internship. Mentors can be added/removed from @help-interns group to be pinged for help versus passively watching.
Markdown docs on netlify. You're looking at it. These cover basic set up, helios, and project ideas. Submit PRs on github.
An introductory project for full stack web dev, helios.
Pairing onto a client project
Systra
United Way
https://missing.csail.mit.edu/ is a great starting point for onboarding

Standups for checkin, code review, or concept discussion. Ideally one of these a week would introduce a new topic (git rebasing, functional programming, shell tooling, RDBMS, etc). The rest could be informal to discuss / share or just chat socially. Hallway may work this.

soft skills
- how to research a new topic
- how to ask good questions
- how to know you're stuck
- how to pair program
Mentor stand up. Optional so don't feel obligated to join it unless you want to share or hear what is being worked on (cognizant that everyone is busy).
Pair programming. LiveShare in Visual Code

Participate in #internship. More mentors mean the interns get help sooner and get to connect with more mojos.
Review onboarding steps. We ran into some issues with nvm/rvm and need mac users to verify.
Review docs. Find issues or areas for improvement.
Topics/presentations for the weekly session. Think a shorter, introductory Friday tech talk.
PM and designer for the two projects.

Why #internship when we already have #engineering?

We noticed the interns from previous years were hesitant to post in #engineering and their own channel seemed to help team cohesion.
Why write these docs in a custom svelte app?
