[Part-time] Data Science Mentor

What You’ll Do

• Showing “newbie” developers how to learn effectively
• Encouraging good habits to become a great developer
• Acting as a supportive peer

Additionally, if we had to add some tips:

• Help show how you debug - most people starting to learn coding for the first time think that software engineers never make mistakes. You and I both know that we spend 90%+ of our time debugging and fixing stupid mistakes.
• Talk out loud - as you‘re working through a problem, try to talk as much as possible. The more you talk, the more the learner can understand your thought process. The journey to the solution is more important than the solution.
• Share stuff about your job - our learners are, for the most part, really curious about what your job is like. If you have any good work stories then please go ahead and share!
