But don't want to be too spammy and desensitise people. Ideally want it to be targeted. + +We need to keep focusing on conveying _understanding_ rather than just instructions - they need to understand why something is a problem, not just follow an instruction to follow it. + +#### Intro to Léon + +Léon has joined CYF as the [Community Education Lead in the Scotland region](https://codeyourfuture.io/community-minded-lead-teacher/) with a focus on giving trainees feedback and helping volunteers to become better teachers. + +#### AI Strategy + +Daniel has put together a [draft AI strategy for CYF](https://docs.google.com/document/d/16ZFFVPRQ6JL6-kpVdwXndQ1zUo0i9kvP5fQ5c4NE3Nk/edit) - please take a look and leave some comments. + +#### Launch Demo Day Feedback + +Was really impressive - some of the best projects and demos we've seen at CYF! All of the course changes are paying off - thank you everyone! + +People were much better at presenting than in the past, but struggled with the style of answering questions about their demos. (Also, some trainees were asking not amazing questions.) - We should think about how to help people ask and answer questions better after demos. + +#### Tony's Problem Solving Workshops + +Daniel demo'd [Tony's problem solving workshops](https://deploy-preview-1538--cyf-programming.netlify.app/structuring-data/sprints/1/day-plan/#problem-solving-workshop) - we're all very excited about them. + +#### Backlog GitHub Issue Labels + +The Size and Priority labels on GitHub issues are probably useful because they help trainees filter in their project boards. + +The Topic labels probably are not - we don't use them, that's not how we develop the curriculum. (They used to be useful, but we've changed how we work.) Daniel will clear some out. + +#### When will ITD and ITP be done and ready to be uploaded to the dashboard + +https://deploy-preview-1548--cyf-itd.netlify.app/ should have all the info needed to update the dashboard. + +### ❗Actions + +- [ ] Daniel: Look at tic-tac-toe workshop explaining the breaking down of the problem +- [ ] CJ (Carry-over): Finish workshop around structuring code around the idea of testability ([Building a ToDo List App using ES Modules](https://github.com/cjyuan/Module-Data-Groups/tree/todo-new/Sprint-3/todo-list)) +- [ ] CJ: Finish Google Sheets exercise to replace Step 3 accordingly +- [ ] Anna: Finish off GenAI ITD Step +- [ ] Jay (Carry-over): Reach out to Chris Owen about [AI code review](https://github.com/ChrisOwen101/CodingCoach/). +- [ ] CJ (+ Ali) (Carry-over): Continue draft self-review PR exercises. +- [ ] CJ (Carry-over): Write a ticket to remove Code In Place for the next ITP, and substitute with a self-learn "try a Codewars in Python" workshop/backlog, and discuss. + +--- + ## 2025-07-29 Attendees: Ali Smith, Anna Aitchison, CJ Yuan, Daniel Wagner-Hall, Karen Klein, Jay Mayer, Hugo Martínez
