Reviewing the curriculum for LDSSA Batch 5

[dominguezmaria]

We want to review the curriculum for Batch 5 of the Starters Academy. This issue's purpose is to log that work is being done on this in the curriculum-development repo.

Joao Ascensao created the curriculum-development repo to log all the discussions around the curriculum. The repo needs to be reviewed (as in, cleaning old issues and rethinking ways people can contribute to it), but I've decided to use the same repo for all the discussions curriculum related because:

• I think it makes more sense to keep the discussions together with what they refer to (in the same way that you'd create an issue about an LU on the batchX-instructors repo)
• Not mixing curriculum development issues together with issues about other topics will make it easier to navigate while working on this problem and after if we want to look at old decision making processes.

@CatarinaSilva question for you: what are the deadlines for changes in the curriculum? In particular, until when can we make changes to:

• the SLUs (as in adding or removing SLUs)?
• the content in the SLUs?
• to the specialisations after the bootcamp?

Hi @dominguezmaria I've asked the leads of each specialization to write down some learnings, and I'm hoping we follow up with that for curriculum. The deadline I'm putting for specializations is mid-april

Maybe what we can is open an issue for bootcamp curriculum and start discussing that one. I believe there were a few suggestions for that that i can gather and bring here, what do you think?

Btw, I agree with using this repo and keep things organized. If you want to already create placeholders, we could have:

• 1 issue for bootcamp
• 1 issue for each specialization

Issue to discuss the bootcamp here.

@CatarinaSilva kind ping to remind about the curriculum and to send it over once it's ready so we can update the website :)

FYI, batch5 bootcamp curriculum is closed and can be consulted here

Should we close this issue @dominguezmaria ?

[dominguezmaria]

@Juliana-R we'll be tracking curriculum changes on the curricululm-development repo. I think we can close this one!
