Week 1 task-force-3

Week 1 task force at awesomity lab and code of africa

This week was good because I made new friends and mates which is the coolest thing in this week ever.
On my first day, We had a game of putting an egg on top of the bottle which was tough, but we did it.
We had a good introduction from both awesomity and code of africa team members. It was my first time to do a 16 personalities test which made me discover and realize many things about me.

Let's talk about soft skills, we learned many things including presentation delivering, communication,... In the presentation, It was a little bit challenging because we knew that actual presentation slides occupy 7% of what remains in the audience's mind.
In communication we learnt that a good one has 3 parts: intro,main, end and at the end of each part there should be a question. We had many examples and plays related to that topic which was cool.

What about coding skills, we learnt about user stories which are a unit of agile framework about explaining features from the user's perspective. I was able to build user stories related to my app(Yombi app) which made me realize that there are many things to change.
We learnt to build the best front end pages related to user stories we've developed.

Did you have fun with the team ? Yeah, on Friday afternoon, we had a game with awesomity team which was the funniest thing ever. After the game,everyone was saying : Oooooh my ribs !!!!!!!. We beat an awesome team which was tough to win against an experienced team. We had drinks and chocolate to eat. Funny thing was that I was the only one who drank soda, others were drinking beers except me which amazed me so much.

What I expect at the end of this 6 weeks program, I want to be not only good but best front end developer who can work in any team across the world, I want to get paid so that I can support my startup growth, I believe that one time I will be sharing stories of how I built my startup to be the best not only in Africa but in the world.
