Role overview
Udacity is now an Accenture company on a mission of forging futures in tech through radical talent transformation in digital technologies. We offer a unique and immersive online learning platform, powering corporate technical training in fields such as Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Data Science, Autonomous Systems, Cloud Computing and more. Our School of Data is committed to providing high-quality upskilling opportunities in this rapidly evolving field, regularly launching new projects and seeking experienced mentors to join us as external contractors to support our programs and learners.
Responsibilities
- Your responsibilities as a technical mentor will be divided into three major tasks: 1:1 video calls, Virtual Technical Deep-Dive Sessions, and Group Q&A sessions.
- Personal 1:1 Session: Provide personalized support by addressing learner questions related to course content and projects.
- Prior to the call mentors are expected to review the students' previous project submission(s) - provided by the Mentor Success Team when available - and/or any specific areas of the Nanodegree content or project that the student has expressed confusion or difficulty with.
- Technical Deep-Dive Session: For concept deep-dives, mentors will come prepared with a slide presentation that reviews a Nanodegree concept in more detail, share different use-cases for the concept to broaden student perspectives and understanding, and hold a Q&A session with the learners.
- For project walkthroughs, a mentor will come prepared with a slide presentation that outlines each element of the rubric to help learners understand expectations and typical problem areas they may encounter. This can include a mentor “grading” a sample submission to demonstrate what mentors are looking for when reviewing projects.
- Group Q&A Session: Host regular sessions (via Slack or video) to address learner queries related to projects and coursework. No prior preparation required.
