Hello everyone!
We have a few updates below in regard to the matching process and next steps for participants, leads, and mentors. Please reach out with any questions!
TL;DR:
Participants: Don’t worry if you’re not matched to a team. We’re creating a new default general team that is managed directly by Humanity Unleashed.
Leads: Please continue your technical onboarding, drafting research proposals, reviewing literature, and coordinating with potential team members for your subproject.
Mentors: Please reach out to project leads to connect or message @David Bell or @Eddie Zhang if you would like to discuss where best to contribute.
General: We’ve created some broader project channels for groups of subprojects that are highly cross-functional.
Participants
Included in the information on the notion page is an update to our process geared toward ensuring all participants can both contribute meaningfully to the overall project and get something out of the process educationally. The short version is that students who are not matched with a specific subproject team will join an aggregated project team administered by Humanity Unleashed directly. This team will not have background requirements, and you do not need to take any action to be placed on this team. The team will work on various tasks appropriate to individual contributors’ backgrounds and skills in support of the overall project, and participants will have the opportunity to work with and potentially join other subproject teams depending on their desires and contributions moving forward.
To additionally clarify on the subproject team matching process currently underway, there are three ways you can be matched to a subproject team:
