## 2024-11-05

Attendees: Daniel Wagner-Hall, Mitch Lloyd, Sally McGrath

### ❗Actions from last time

- [ ] Ali (Carry-over): Check in with the Dashboard team about Piscine reqs (write up a ticket for this)
- [ ] All (Carry-over): Think about useful resources for SDC
- [x] Daniel: Make a bunch of tickets described above

### 📝 Agenda points

We had a lovely catch-up.

Some things that came up:
* Sally is working with some Royal Holloway researchers who are researching the impact of GenAI on novice learning programmers.
* Sally is finding AI's influence uninspiring in her coding life.
* In Zoom school, Sally walked through the page of a PR line by line understanding every element in the page.
* In flipped classroom we're maybe overlooking context setting for logistical/workflowy things like this.
* There's probably some good workshops in this.
* How to handle things like playing computer with volunteers who don't have an understanding you'd expect them to.
* So far 15% of 117 ITP participants have completed module 1. 3-4 have dropped out.
* Some people are racing ahead at a faster pace than the old course timing would have allowed - this is great to see.
* Unclear what the balance will be of the slower folks between "need a bit of extra time to get going" vs "just need a bit more time for everything" vs "not actually getting things".
* People re-taking the course seem to be thriving - getting the culture, reviewing code, etc.
* Fundamentals was really useful at culture-setting, we probably want to try re-framing the first ITP module as fundamentals.
* Sally wants to release the curriculum platform with the DPG team in December.
