Bootcamp Learning Plan
What is your long term goal and/or career pathway?
My long term goal is to create an app/space that encourages collaboration in the arts sector.
What do you think your biggest strengths and limitations will be in Bootcamp?
One of my strengths would be teamwork. I work well and enjoy working with others and I get along with most people too. Limitations would probably be distracted. I tend to lose focus easily so will need to try to minimize that.
What do you think your biggest non-technical challenge at Bootcamp will be?
My biggest non-technical challenge would be to not lose self confidence or self esteem if/after I'm unable to do something or keep failing at a task and missing my goals.
What non-technical skills - human skills - would you like to see developed in yourself while at EDA?
Probably giving feedback. That is something I know i'm not great at and needs improving.
What are your expectations from the Bootcamp team and what are your expectations of yourself on Bootcamp?
I expect to feel supported and guided from the team and also safe enough to be able to ask questions when i'm stuck. For myself, I need to not get too stressed or over-worked by taking breaks, stretching and going outdoors everyday.

From experience I can say that my long term goals keep evolving or changing as I go by. At the moment, my long term goal would be to create an app that encourages collaboration within the arts sector.
What skills (non-technical - human skills) would you like to see developed in yourself while at EDA?
I would probably like to develop my organisational skills. Focusing more on time management and work efficiency. This is something that I find myself struggling with from time to time.
A description of your own strengths and limitations
I am a creative and imaginative person and i’m good at problem solving. I love to meet and interact with new people and i’m able to work well with other people who can be very different from me. On the other hand, I tend to get distracted easily and often find myself day dreaming.
Based on the above description, a commitment to how you will manage your workload in this programme. This should include - an explanation of how you will manage yourself to work productively and safely with other learners, facilitators and industry/community representatives.
I am using toggl track and the timebox recommendations and that is really helping me stay focused and on task. I also take regular breaks to stretch my legs, drink some water etc. With regards to working productively and safely with other learners, facilitators and industry/community representatives, I will -
- Be respectful at all times
- Share my knowledge with others
- Help others where I can
- Be open and communicative
A commitment as to how and where you will seek help in a timely way.
If I need help, I will ask the facilitator or other learners on Slack.
A description of what you expect from the facilitation team
I expect the facilitation team to give critical and helpful feedback on my work/tasks.
Any scheduling information such as block-out times when you are committed to other things. For example, you might have whanau commitments such as school drop-offs. It’s important to plan these in.
I do have some specific commitments and I have already planned for them and it won’t be a hindrance in my progress.
