# Striker Airman Coder Expectations, Schedule, and More

### Expectations

- Students will contribute a minimum of 6 hours a week
- What you get out of this will be what you put in
- We understand that you may have other classes and obligations to tend to, but keep in mind that the more you immerse yourself in this stlye of learning, the bigger the return. Most, if not all, of us went through a similar entry into the workplace.
- Ruby Shore will contribute 20 to 30 hours a week depending on assistance needed.
- Airmen will contribute close to full time. (~40 hours a week)
- Ruby Shore will help with:
- Task & Workflow Administration
- Consulting
- Code Reviews
- Training / Pairing
- Coding
- But mostly, we want to make sure you and the projects are always moving forward and not stalling
- The Airmen will join us February 10, 2021.
- The Airmen will send us specs for each project and we'll start digesting that ahead of kickoff.
- The Airmen will look to the students to help guide them on matters of Computer Science.
- And vice versa, this is a melting pot of experience, but the Airmen have the least experience. (A coding boot camp)
