Why are we doing this?

🔑 The most important thing is that you are secure in your understanding.

At the end of the course, we will expect you to build novel applications using your understanding. If you cannot build things, we cannot put you forward for jobs. It is in your personal interest to make sure you have properly understood this module.

To progress to the next module you need to meet the success criteria for this module. How will you as a cohort meet the module success criteria? Discuss it in your class channel and make a plan together.

Diversity and Inclusion 🔗

Learning Objectives

Introduction

Statistics show that diverse teams are more innovative and perform better. The team members feel better belonging to their company and can more comfortably bring their ideas to the table. As a result, the products and services offered by these companies satisfies consumer needs better.

Inclusion in a group

🎯 Goal: Explain feelings associated with being included or excluded in a group in five sentences; describe at least two coping methods against social exclusion (20 minutes)

Discuss in small groups for 10 minutes. Reflect on your personal experiences of feeling included or excluded in a group. Try to remember how that experience made you feel and how you dealt with it. Did someone help you? Did you help someone be included in a group?

Volunteer for your group to share with rest of the class some coping methods against social exclusion your group has discussed. This should not take longer than 10 minutes, so make sure someone is keeping time.

Inclusive products

🎯 Goal: Prepare a brief for an inclusive tech product (30 minutes)

Diversity and inclusion in your team or working with stakeholders is important. However, it is also very important when building a product.

Work in small groups. Imagine that your group will develop a new tech product. Consider following questions:

  1. How can you make sure that the product is as inclusive as possible?

  2. What challenges can you experience when designing an inclusive product?

  3. What challenges can you experience when developing an inclusive product?

  4. What essential accessibility requirements should you take into consideration?

  5. What should you consider to ensure all team members are feeling included?

    Prepare a pitch for your product. Name a speaker for your group. They will share your pitch and explain how you are going to create an inclusive product. Groups will have maximum 2 minutes to present their pitch.

    Ask someone to be the time keeper, so we don’t overrun our schedule.
