Reigniting imaginations: Consultation, curriculum, and gamified library orien...Benjamin Walsh
Since 2009, librarians at U of T’s Engineering & Computer Science Library have offered a fun orientation-week scavenger hunt that regularly drew in dozens of first-year students, introducing foundational library skills. In 2016, however, participation dropped precipitously leaving librarians to ask ourselves how we could recapture the attention of undergraduates and ensure key library skills would continue to be introduced in those early days.
The answer reached was a reflective process that challenged librarians to look beyond our own expertise and experience and reach out to colleagues in the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering. A small team of librarians, faculty and staff was established and we began the work of reflecting on student success, curricular expectations, and what foundational library skills were needed to help meet identified informational needs driven by a demanding first-year curriculum.
Our team decided to continue grounding these early learning outcomes in a gamified orientation activity. As engineering education is fundamentally about problem-solving our team agreed that drawing on the popular escape-room model would be a great way to embed our learning outcomes in a problem-based activity. A game narrative was developed both inspired by the 2017 frosh week Star Wars theme and the 40th anniversary of the Sandford Fleming Building fire of 1977. We hoped that by bringing together the technology of Star Wars and Skule (U of T Engineering Society) history, we would create a program that students would be excited to join.
The new activity was strategically promoted, game play was extended to a full month, and the number of players reached close to 300.
This presentation will discuss the reflective process that led to the creation of the game including consultation with stakeholders, narrative development, game ideation, and the successes and challenges of implementation in a busy research library without disrupting day to day operations

A WebQuest is an inquiry-based learning tool that uses online resources to support active learning and cooperation among students. It follows a consistent pattern where students explore an issue, conduct research, and form their own conclusions. WebQuests integrate technology, increase student motivation through role-playing and group work, and allow students to learn through higher-order thinking and self-discovery. They can be used across subjects and grade levels for whole-class or independent activities. Benefits include improved time management, teaching strategies, problem-solving skills, and pacing of instruction to meet individual student needs. Teachers should ensure WebQuests are well-planned with correct, accessible information that fits curricular goals and allows for flexibility.
The document discusses using livestreamed fieldcasts to provide remote interactive field experiences for large numbers of students. The goals are to increase student confidence in fieldwork participation, teach the scientific investigation process, and provide a remote field experience. The fieldcasts follow a progression where students make observations and hypotheses, then methods and data collection, followed by analysis, interpretation and conclusions. Feedback showed students found the fieldcasts informative, helpful, enjoyable, interesting and that they felt more involved. Evaluations aim to assess if the assignment and student learning improved after participating in the fieldcasts. The model also aims to be transferable to other presenters and contexts like face-to-face fieldwork.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17Celine George
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

Editor's Notes
In this orientation we will cover the:
Expectations of mentors and interns
We will have a few Activities to help you understand the program and mentoring.
I will cover some of the Best Practices for the internship such as:
Understanding the program basics
Realizing you have supports
Making and keeping to a plan
My goal is that you see you are part of a larger community of professionals with a shared interest in guiding and training the next generation of science and technology professionals.
This year over 510 applicants applied for ~150 positions. Almost a 1 in 3 chance for students. This competitive program has been around for almost 30 years. We couldn’t do it without the amazing support of our mentors and partners.
This year we have 36 different organizations supporting interns from 59 different high schools across the region. We have internships as far north as Vancouver, WA and south as Eugene, OR.
This summer you will experience first hand the Saturday Academy mission as the ASE Program is part of Saturday Academy. Our belief is that all young people can explore their curiosity and have the capacity to become life-long learners.
We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in affiliation with the University of Portland. The ASE Program is just one program of Saturday Academy. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in affiliation with the University of Portland. We rely on financial support from grants and program revenue to provide our programs, including 500 classes and camps a year in the Portland Metro. We serve between 6,000-7,000 students annually.
Saturday Academy has stayed true to it’s mission since 1983 when we were founded. Our belief is that all young people should explore their curiosity and have the capacity to become life-long learners. It’s because of your passion and commitment as mentors that our non-profit works.
Speaking of the program working, let’s cover some of the Program Basics.
The Apprenticeships in Science & Engineering is a full-time, 8 weeks program for 9th-11th grade students to go further into their passions and potential career interests as interns at various types of organizations. We do this through a project-based, hands-on learning that enables career exploration and builds confidence.
Internships are:
296 hours
Starting on June 18 or 25
Must end by August 24
The ASE program is much more than an internship:
Workshops
Two Conferences
Liability Insurance
Stipend Disbursement
The ASE Program supports you with:
Site Visits and program Evaluation

Available if issues arise
One tool to thinking about mentoring styles is this graph as part of the Four ways of helping. There are instructive “be like me” or “do it this way”? There are more open-ended approaches, where instead of answering a question directly, you might reflect the question back to the intern (going in the more non-directive)
Directive mentoring and coaching
A directive approach involves a transfer of wisdom, where the mentor or coach provides advice or direction, probably based on their experience and expertise. This is a widely-recognised, fairly traditional approach.
Advantages include:
mentee benefits from shared experience
mentee benefits from mentors' hindsight
mentee can be given a solution
mentor feels rewarded by sharing wisdom.
Disadvantages of directive approach:
mentee has less ownership of outcomes
mentee may be less committed to action
the solution might not be ‘right'.
Non-directive mentoring and coaching
A non-directive approach allows the recipient to formulate their own solutions and actions as a result of skilled listening and questioning from the mentor or coach.
Advantages of non-directive approach for the mentor or coach:
mentor/coach does not need to be an expert in the field
mentor/coach is open-minded and asks open questions
mentee/coachee has ownership of the solution
mentee/coachee has greater commitment to action
the solution is more likely to be ‘right'.
Disadvantages could be:
longer time to reach an outcome
missed opportunity to benefit from another's experience
mentee/coachee may simply want to be given the answer.
A balance between these two extremes is likely to be the best. The balance will shift depending on the issue and the experience of the mentor or coach and the mentee or coachee, as illustrated by case study examples of non-directive and directive approaches [PDF].
Either of these approaches could be adopted in a formal or informal context.
My goal in introducing this to you is not to prescribe an ideal mentor rather to help you to be aware of your own position as well as where your intern may need you to be.
Being a mentor is also an opportunity to help. Knowing that not all mentors are the same, and there are different types of mentoring.
Some ways to practice tailoring your style is in these example scenarios below:
Intern seems to need a lot of feedback and direction
Intern was really hoping to learn skills not really part of the internship
The project or plan for your intern has changed.
Intern repeatedly shows up late
Your schedule is shifting and you are worried you won’t be able to support your intern the rest of the internship.
Set Schedule and Expectations
Make your Intern feel welcome & build rapport- much like Olivia’s mentor did for her at HP.
Create and Track Goals with a plan – Use mentoring plan template
In considering your mentee’s needs, you will likely need to find out where they are in terms of skills as well as expectations. Setting and managing expectations can be a huge help in making the internship go smoothly.
By doing some early Pre-planning & Goal Setting you can help keep the internship on track, even when projects may go awry, which some inevitably do.
Becoming a mentor with the ASE program means that you also get the benefit of many other mentors that have been with the program. ASE staff & your Teacher Monitor are people that can help funnel the collective learnings to support you.
One piece of advice is have a plan. Think not only about what the student will be doing but what other interactions and experiences they might have during your time together. I’m sharing with you all now, a tool to help guide your conversations called a “Mentoring Plan.” This template is meant to provide a framework to some of the conversations you should be having with you intern. Feel free to adapt this as your own. It is for you and your intern, so make it what you need it to be.
