Homework

On the morning of Day 1, each participating community will provide introductory remarks. This is an opportunity for the cohort to learn more about your team and community. Additionally, this exercise will serve as a foundation for teambuilding exercises throughout the kick-off session.

You and your team will have 12 minutes to introduce your community. This time allotment will be enforced.

Instructions on this assignment are available here.
