We are looking for students to act as a Scrum Master/ Team Lead/ Project Manager. You will support the team by ensuring that tasks are clearly defined, documented and followed up on. Regular reviews of the project and communication with the team will allow you to detect task dependencies and allow visibility of your project's priorities.
Grey-box is a social innovation startup that is currently incubating on multiple projects; here's a partial list:
- Project Symmetry- Improve the translation efforts for under-represented languages on Wikipedia by using ML.
- Project Mesh- Allow low-cost Android devices to connect themselves wirelessly over WiFi or Bluetooth
- Project CyberCafe- Allow an Android device to manage how it shares its hotspot internet connectivity with other devices
- Project Web Scraper- A Chrome extension that allows creating an offline copy of a web page or a whole website
- Project Codex- This project aims at translating & finding equivalence for medical data and equipment.

- What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?
-
- Weekly team meetings to update project status and its related tasks
- Weekly meta-scrum meetings
- Every few weeks (usually in sync with mid and end-of-quarter), a progress report will have to be made and should include relevant recommandations

Weekly touch base with the student supervisors.

Grey-box is a social innovation startup. Its main product, Uni, provides wireless access to digital resources (such as Wikipedia, Khan academy, several MOOC-type online courses, medical databases) in areas where access to the internet or to electricity is unreliable.
While 50% of the world's population is not connected - and the COVID-19 situation is exacerbating these inequalities - our team is working on an accessible product (portable, energy efficient, climate resistant and, above all, less than 100 $ the unit) which allows anyone to connect to these essential resources for their development and autonomy.
Grey-box is a nonprofit structured under the principle of mobile-first and remote-first. Diversity is not only encouraged, it is an integral part of the strength of the team and its projects
