Hi, I just wanted to clarify that on July 5th, we will recieve an email about being assigned to a project. I also was wondering if there would be an interview process or additional application questions in order to be selected for a project. Thank you!

Hi Amelia,

You need to pass the evaluation for the project you selected. This is the only mandatory step. If you do not pass the evaluation, you can still work solo or form your own teams. However, to ensure fairness for other members in STEM-Away teams, passing the evaluation is required.

If you need help with evaluations, you can join the STEM-Away Mentorship help.

Gotcha ok! Where can we find the evaluations, or have they not been released yet?

11

The first part of the evaluations (MCQ) have been released, they can be found with each project post.

Hi, can you please let me know if the emails for F-IE-1 - Text Classification using NLP were already sent out. I didn’t receive anything

13

Please check your inbox on the platform for updates. We will send one direct update to member emails this week to make sure everyone is following along, but we generally do not use direct emails.

14

Dear, I completed the evaluation for the Advanced NLP project but didn’t receive any email if I passed it or not. Can you please advise on the passing score, and should I receive an email or not?

Hello @ayahashim16

The passing score for the project is 8. Feel free to try as many times as you need! You can check out your current score both below the attempted project and in your t3 dashboard.

We do have this information available in posts. But based on your query (and multiple other private messages received)—we’ve realized how crucial it is to have this information readily accessible. As a result, we’re updating the evaluation button to offer clearer insights on the passing grade and the next steps.

This is our first summer using AI automations, thanks for your patience! Plus, your feedback helps us make everything better — so we’re adding some extra tacks to your account as a thank-you!

Keep the questions coming, and thanks for helping us improve!

To all STEM-Away members: please share your queries on the platform so that everyone can benefit from the answers!

Hi @ARUUKE_BAYAKMATOVA, hope you are all set now! We are improving our messaging based on queries received. Thanks for your query!

Thanks for adding tacks to my account, much appreciated :slight_smile:
