Details

We use Metabase on the back-end of our React code-base. We want to integrate the Alexa API to create a voice-enabled app where learners can ask Alexa for soft skills tips. We have a database of > 250 tips that can be used for input.

Students should be prepared to:

  • research the Alexa API to identify best practices for integration
  • code the Soft Skills app
  • input the tips (.xlsx source)
  • test the app

Mentorship

We have two ex-Googlers who were both senior (Level 5) developers as mentors, plus we are a coaching company offering our interns private and group coaching plus free access to our Soft Skills Academy. You'll complete a Soft Skills Program with a Certification and be amongst the first people in the WORLD to have a badge that says you are "Certified in Soft Skills."
