Mentoring to learn AI - finding your passion project
As part of the mentoring community for erdos, I have been learning about how to mentor people for learning AI
Mentoring is not teaching. Its more like coaching - which is new for me also.
Here are five things I learnt so far
1) I ask for a passion project ie what do you really want to build in AI? I get some really cool ideas. And we try exactly that however out of the world they may be :)
People are personally motivated to learn AI doing something they like
2) Reflection is important - there are many ways to solve a problem and exploring these ways is a part of the learning process.
3) Time is flexible. We have calls every two weeks. folks make progress - or in some cases, they are busy and catch up on the next call. But being in the call is a great way to learn from others
4. Forks are a part of the learning - sometimes people start somewhere and then they work on something else as they learn more. This is a part of the learning journey
As Steve Jobs said "The journey is the destination" zen proverb
5. The process of making Goals improves you even if you are flexible about the destination - this was the most important insights I got from Jim Rohn
lots more to learn for all - including me
Erdos is a very limited mentoring program as of now- partly to manage my own time. If you are interested in being a part of Erdos - please message me here

3wAjit, I have envisioned a concept called "MyOpenSkool Ecosystem" which is meant to be a scaffold for the Educators as well as the other stakeholders in the Education system. One of the module within the Ecosystem is Teacher's Assistant which I would like to build with AI So that the ecosystem hand-holds the Teachers to handle their mammoth challenges in teaching for the 21st century children and youngsters. I am learning AI. If you could take me as a mentee, it would be very nice.
