Overview
In Fall of 2022 (F22), Sahil Kale noticed recent feedback for the past 2-3 terms for interns was heavy around a lack of task definition and getting onboarded. In order to address this, an initiative was started with endorsement from Jinghao Lei and Aidan Bowers (Deactivated) to create startup guides to aid new co-ops with ramping up. This document can serve as the template for the startup guide while removing this section.
Prior to F22 we have had co-ops it’s just their startup guides weren’t formally tracked here in confluence.
