[Esra]

Hi Can someone assist me to reach the forms?

[stemaway]

Hi Esra, are you trying to reach the “interested in teamwork” button? For that, you have to pick any of the prep projects, do the qualification and the dropdown will apeear on your dashboard.

Let us know which project or area you are interestedin and we will share the exact steps.

[Esra]

Yes, I’m interested in GeneGPT Lite (38.5% CAGR) project.

[stemaway]

Great — sounds like you’ve picked your project!

This post is Step 1. Your next actions:

1. Read Step 2 to confirm your project choice.
2. Go to Step 3 and click the prep module next to your project to learn and qualify. Screenshot of Step 3 below.
3. After you pass the evaluation, it will show up on your dashboard. See Step 4.

All the above steps are explained in this category.

🛈 If your dashboard looks empty right now, that’s expected. As soon as you attempt or pass the MCQ, your project will show up.

Is that possibly what’s causing the confusion? If not, just let us know where you’re stuck — we’re happy to help!

Here is the screenshot showing your prep module. GeneGPT only has Level 3 since it is an advanced domain specific project.
