We’d like you to see both of us today—switching groups from last week and then (time pending) circling back around
But it’ll still be pretty quick! Ballpark a few minutes each, and be ready to get what you need from us
Give us a brief run-down of your project, any “swings,” and your overall progress from last week
Have your in-progress, core functionality prototype up on your phone
We’ll also look at your updated roadmaps, to frame our discussion of progress/efforts—are we “current,” here?
Again we’d like your “not with us” time to be oriented around working with your peers—not just silent, working-on-your-own (slash doing-something-else) time
Focus your discussion with your classmates on your technical challenges/hurdles—they might have insight into solutions or approaches

With what we saw in class last week, and seeing what folks submitted—a lot of folks hadn’t made real progress towards their goals outside roadmapping.

We’re trying to help even out the arc of this work—but ultimately you have to put in the time! We’re expecting to see progress each week.
There was some… wholesale copying—either from examples, or from LLMs. This doesn’t change our stance on attribution. Are you understanding what you are pulling together?
Some folks are still focusing on too much on content. Give yourself just enough here to model your data, then come back to populating/fleshing this out further.
Revisit your roadmaps, if you haven’t—again, to both keep yourself on track/focused and also to show us your progress.
Narrow your focus! Pick the one thing and make it robust and thorough, “putting a pin” in your other ideas. We only have a few more weeks—and by next class, you should be showing us a working MVP on your phone.

We’re moving on to our next project milestone, the fabled MVP. By next week, the last “beam” of your project should be in place:
