Task Force 2.0 First Week Sessions

During this first week task force boot camp, I have learned a lot of things including; Knowing my values, communication skills, presentation skills, and technical skills such as pipelines and workflows used in AwesomityLab.

My first day was as confusing as playing chess. This was because I was not used to working with many people at the same task. The very beginning session taught me how to figure out what my values are and respecting other people based on their values. I learned to create team's values techniques which are as simple as these:

  1. Write very big list of values
  2. Ask everyone to choose his/her five best values
  3. Choose the common values from each one.
  4. Write them down.
  5. Ask if everyone agrees with them

The second day I worked on codewars challenges, but the most important part is that I never worked alone, like I mentioned earlier, we worked as a team. So, the challenges become much more easier as I never worried about missing someone to help me.
Working as team, or solving problems together, helps everyone become open both for receiving and giving.

Third and fourth day, I had already become used to working with others.
I started sharing my problems in coding with them, and started receiving their experience which I think I need to experience too. We have become open team though we still have more time to know a lot about each and everyone, but we are at the good stage.

Lack of Contents list and less resources are the most challenges I met during my first week sessions.

As we learned something new, I expected getting more resources especially in technical sessions.

I would ask the team to be providing them in future sessions.

Thank you Awesomity Lab and Code Of Africa.
