Outreachy Week 3: Everyone Struggles!

As the saying goes;

” A Smooth Sea Never Made A Skilled Sailor “ .Franklin D. Roosevelt’s

It’s been quite an enjoyable journey and this is week 3 of my internship with ODK-X and honestly speaking I’ve struggled with some challenges, It’s okay not to know everything even if you’ve had some experience before.

What I Struggled With😕

Week 1 was all about onboarding and geting to the community I’ll be working with, project scope and code base. Week 2-3 was all about Understanding and Research. Getting feedbacks from users about their experience with ODK-X apps and performing UX audits so we can add newly found issues to already existing issues that needs UI Upliftment.

At first, I had problems with understanding the projet scope like what needs to be done prior to my timeline proposal and that was somehow disturbing to me.

How the Issue Was Solved✔️✔️

The problem is just too minor to ask for help Communincate, Communicate Communicate!… I can’t over emphasize on the importance of communication. I did communicate with my mentors and Godswill ( co-intern ), The project scope was made clear and my vision became clearer. We came out with a combined timeline which even made things better and easier, Special thanks to Godswill.

When you have issues or doubts, Do you best to ask for clarity from your mentors or other sources available. Clearing doubts at the beginning of the internship will save you from a lot of stress. Don’t forget to keep your mind open to learning.. Never Give Up!

New Vocabulary I Learnt😎

This picture says it all. The new vocabulary I learnt is the Orgs name itself… hehehe😂😂. Yeah seriously I had no idea what ODK-X stands for until I read their Docs. Trust me, there’s nothing like ” I know it all “ in tech. You’ll keep learning new terms every now and then.

Thanks for reading… See you in the next post!
