Energiser

Every session begins with an energiser. Usually there’s a rota showing who will lead the energiser. We have some favourite games you can play if you are stuck.

  1. Traffic Jam: re-order the cars to unblock yourself
  2. Telephone: draw the words and write the pictures
  3. Popcorn show and tell: popcorn around the room and show one nearby object or something in your pocket or bag and explain what it means to you.

🪞 Employability

Learning Objectives

In this session we will work on our employability skills. This means: improving our CVs, LinkedIn profiles, GitHub profiles, finding and analysing job descriptions, and preparing for interviews.

This is a placeholder block.

Morning Break

A quick break of fifteen minutes so we can all concentrate on the next piece of work.

😉 Stand up

Learning Objectives

Take 15 minutes (set a timer!) to share your progress and blockers with your team. This is a chance to ask for help and to help others. Don’t get into details - just share the headlines and arrange to talk more after the stand up if you need to.

Retro: Start / Stop / Continue

  Retro (20 minutes)</span>

A retro is a chance to reflect. You can do this on RetroTool (create a free anonymous retro and share the link with the class) or on sticky notes on a wall.

  1. Set a timer for 5 minutes. There’s one on the RetroTool too.
  2. Write down as many things as you can think of that you’d like to start, stop, and continue doing next sprint.
  3. Write one point per note and keep it short.
  4. When the timer goes off, one person should set a timer for 1 minute and group the notes into themes.
  5. Next, set a timer for 2 minutes and all vote on the most important themes by adding a dot or a +1 to the note.
  6. Finally, set a timer for 8 minutes and all discuss the top three themes.
