### 📝 Agenda points

#### Helping ITP team reboot the first module for ITP iteration 2 which starts in about 6 weeks

We should start thinking about reworking the first module as slightly more fundamentals-style "try this out and enroll as a trainee or drop out".

We may want to do with on behalf of the ITP syllabus team and hand it over, as they are bandwidth-constrained.

We would probably want this to happen before we rely on people having access to their own computers.

Would probably want to keep git, which you can do on GitHub, but without Codespaces that doesn't let you _run_ code. These are cheap enough that we can probably pay for it. Probably ditching the terminal completely though.

Sally has acquired a poor quality trainee laptop and will experiment with it.

##### Do we want to time-limit the module?

Pros:
* Encourages people to focus and pushes them to actually enroll as trainees
* Sets the expectation of: You have to show up, put the work in, and make progress

Cons:
* Extra pressure
* Makes a paperwork spike of enrollment applications
* Mismatched expectations around introducing artificial time pressure for module 1 vs trying to relieve time pressure for ITP

We probably want to set a target guideline of 4 weeks, but not enforce this. Maybe we "enforce" this by telling cohort leaders that week 5 must be working on module 2 not module 1.

##### Actions

* Collaboratively put together learning objectives.
* Rebranding the module.
* Go through moving/removing things we think need to be removed.
* Frame sprint 1 with specific energisers/introductions.

#### Renaming SDC

Daniel would quite like to rename SDC to Software Engineering for two reasons:
1. To not need to disambiguate between "old SDC" and "new SDC"
2. "Software engineering" contrasts nicely with "Learning programming"

#### Piscine dashboard requirements

Worked out in comments on https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KOl4eWF0XWS34esrkWvCE5d4ESgMrjeFWQFao404UPY/edit

### ❗Actions

- [ ] All: Collaboratively put together LOs and name for ITP Introduction Module.
- [ ] Daniel: Sync with Karen on Piscine dashboard requirements
