Agenda

“WOYO”, Work On Your Own + health breaks

In each session you will have time to work through the examples and take breaks. We will be monitoring the chat the entire WOYO period, responding to questions. Plus, the last 15min of each WOYO will be with “open video and chat” to ask questions and discuss as a group. Where appropriate, we can jump into video earlier for discussion.

All times in Pacific Daylight Time (GMT-7)

Presentation slides will be added at the end of each day.
