Well, I can’t believe it’s already been a week here! For starters, I wanna say that I absolutely LOVED my time here and getting the chance to meet all the amazing people who work here and get to see all the incredible work they do! Each day has taught me so much, and I have felt really welcomed into each team I have had the chance to work with.
On day 1, we started by getting an introduction to the organization from Paul, and he explained to us the different parts of Cosmic and why they do what they do, then he got us set up with our laptops and set us off on our first task: writing about the effects AI will have on our future. This was a great introductory task and really helped us get a feel for the place and dip our toes in the water. After our lunch break, we went and did some work on a PowerPoint and built up some teaching resources.
At the start of day 2, we were welcomed in by Pete, as he talked us through some advice for the world of work and spoke about what sort of things he does as part of the web team. We then went in and started our first task: researching what a CMS is for us to go write a blog!
