⏳30 Days of Udacity ⏳
Important Dates
Starts on: Wednesday, April 6, 2022
Last date to sign-up for the Challenge: Friday, April 8, 2022
The rules are mostly unchanged - the general premise is to make learning a habit by making a public commitment to work in your classroom every day for 30 days within your Accenture Scholarship.
Habits that emphasize consistent practice have been proven to help overall retention of new learning material.
By participating in this Challenge, you'll build towards the goal of finishing the Challenge, track your progress regularly, and commit to that goal as a team so you can help each other achieve it!
🚨 You won't be assigned any specific team. We want 'everyone' who fills out a commitment form will be considered as part of ONE big team!
2️⃣ With the goal of completing your nanodegree, EVERY DAY work in your classroom by setting aside time for it (we're suggesting 30 minutes every day!)
3️⃣ Do a daily check-in of your progress in the #30-Days-Of-Udacity Slack Channel! How? Every day at around the same time, make a short post in the #30-Days-Of-Udacity channel and answer the following three questions:
What did I work on today?
What will I work on tomorrow?
What issues are blocking my progress?
Here’s an example of what a daily post would look like:
" Day 1 -
1. Today, I worked on Content Delivery under Cloud Fundamentals
2. Tomorrow I plan to work on Security under Cloud Fundamentals
3. Not understanding how to create a VPC is blocking my progress"
4️⃣ Operate as a team! 🤝
Applaud those who post any wins! For eg. if someone posts; 'Yesterday, I finally completed lesson 3'. You can leave an emoji under their daily update or by reply to them directly!
Motivate anyone who is struggling! See if you can remove specific blockers or simply offer your help to them.
5️⃣ When you've successfully completed the 30 day challenge, go ahead and let us know!
Everyone who completes the Challenge gets a star next to their name on the Commitment Wall! 🌟
You must do a DAILY check-in about your progress in the nanodegree in #30-Days-Of-Udacity Slack Channel in the format given above each day except for the 2 days off of your choice. Start posting from the day you sign-up :)
You may choose to exercise 2 "Off Days" during the entirety of the 30 days at any point that you select. You will not have to post a checkin on those 2 days.
In your daily check-in post, you will only mention about your progress made in the course.
You can choose to make the daily check-in post at any particular time in your time zone. We will though recommend that whatever time you pick, try to keep posting at around the same time every day in the #30-Days-Of-Udacity channel as this will help in making it a habit!
For eg. if you decide to make a daily check-in post at 5 PM in your time zone, then try to do your daily check-in at the same time every day for the whole 30 days of the commitment
Completed your coursework? If you happen to complete your nanodegree before or during the 30 days, then in your daily check-ins you can post about something related to this Scholarship such as a project that demonstrates your newfound skills, leading sessions in your Study Team, or a working on other relevant courses on Udacity.
Everyone who signs up for the 30 day commitment should think of themselves as a part of a big team!
Encouragement to your team-members can be as simple as a positive emoji! 👍🔥
To participate in the 30 day challenge, you must start on or before April 8, 2022. After that, the commitment form will be closed.
The commitment will end once you reach your 30 day mark! Of course, you are welcome to continue posting should you want to!
Participating scholars will be listed on the 30 Day Challenge Commitment Wall
When you successfully finish your 30 day commitment, let us know.
You can set up a daily reminder in Slack to post the daily check-in everyday! All you need to do is type and send this in your DM Conversation with Slackbot (paste the text without the quotes) "/remind me at XX AM everyday to Post daily check-in for the 30 day challenge in #30-Days-Of-Udacity channel"(You can replace XX AM with whatever time in your timezone you think you will be able to make a daily post for the challenge eg. 10 AM , 9:30 PM etc.).
