• Engage & Recruit: Approach students on campus (quads, student unions, study areas) and invite them to participate in a paid/incentivized data recording session.
• Capture Data: Guide students through recording high-quality video and sensor data of participants performing specific movements or interacting with objects using our app.
• Quality Control: Ensure lighting, framing, and movement instructions are followed strictly to ensure data is usable for machine learning.
• Educate: Briefly explain the purpose of the technology to participants, creating excitement about the project.
• Manage Goals: Meet weekly targets for the number of unique participants recorded.

Who You Are

• The Social Butterfly: You're comfortable walking up to strangers, striking up a conversation, and explaining complex ideas simply. Rejection doesn't phase you.
• Tech-Fluent: You're comfortable using iOS devices, troubleshooting basic app issues, and following technical instructions.
• Detail-Oriented: You understand that "garbage in, garbage out" applies to AI. You care about capturing the perfect shot.
• Reliable: You show up when you say you will and you treat the equipment with care.
• Currently Enrolled: You're a student at a University with availability to work 10–15 hours per week (flexible schedule).
• Physically Capable: Comfortable holding an iPhone steady for extended periods and standing/walking around campus for the duration of a shift.
