Hello everybody to our weekly newsletter! We are on Week 5 of the Technovation Curriculum!
👥👥Teams
This week we are working on pairing our teams with our mentors as well as forming teams for those who are still looking for teammates. Please make sure that all teams are registered on the Technovation website. It is also important for all participants to be registered with the Waterloo Chapter AND Technovation Global. Individual team status and reminder emails went out this week.
👩🏼🏫1:1 Coaching!
There will be the possibility for our teams to book 1:1 coaching time for this Saturday. Please fill out our Google Coaching form!
✅Checklist
This week you will learn about prototyping, the benefits of prototyping, and how you can create a prototype for your product. You will also learn about different user interface features and coding components you can incorporate in your app, and ways you can improve user experience. This week's curriculum also emphasises the importance of planning and ways you can discuss appropriate timelines with your team members.
We have created a Week 5 Checklist for you based on the curriculum. These Weekly Checklists are made to help you stay on track by covering all the milestones your team should be striving to reach each week. The Technovation slideshow is also linked in the checklist!
📆Our upcoming workshop is on March 2nd!
Time: 10:00am - 4:00 pm
