Recap on comment writing

  • What was difficult or easy about writing comments for your peer's BP3?

Open Forum: Elevator pitches

We will hear these elevator pitches in groups of 5 for speed of transition

  • Remember that you should feel free to poach from one another's approaches or ideas to improve your own

Questions:

  • What's special or unique about this community?
