Students are meant to work in their project groups during this workshop, but also to be inspired by the other groups. This being the first workshop and happening on Friday in Week 1, all students will join in one big meeting, potentially with breakout rooms and individual group tasks.

Content

The workshop falls roughly in two parts: Project information and Team building.

Project information

We have booked time from 8:15 - 10:00. We will discuss and decide during Week 1 if this time is needed, also as a buffer for L1 and L2.

Content:

Feedback on Project Mission
Next steps
Upcoming deadlines and expectations
Discussion of communication channels

Team building
