Greetings and good morning!

For those that didn't make it last night...

We had a great setup session! We're using Jupyter Notebooks as the
main interface this round and the consensus at the debrief was
that—despite some roughness caused by our material being a little out
of sync in a few places (mostly fixed by Kaylea in real time)—the
switch to Jupyter has really made a number of things easier!

Thank you everybody who showed up! We put together this short webpage
with advice for mentoring:

https://wiki.communitydata.science/Mentoring

If you are mentoring for the first time, or even if you are an
old-hand, you might benefit from looking it over.

I look forward to seeing a few of you this morning in Savery Hall 260
and many more of you for lunch on the ground floor of Savery at 12:20.

Regards,
Mako

> * Setup: Friday 6-9pm in Communications (CMU) 104 at UW
> * Lecture: Saturday 9:45-12:20pm in Savery Hall 260.
> * Lunch: Saturday 12:20-1pm in Savery Hall.
> * Projects: Saturday 1-4pm in  in Savery Hall.

> You are welcome to come to whatever you can. Basically, we need as
> many mentors as possible for the projects time on Saturday afternoon.

> For lectures and the setup period, we need mentors, but a smaller

> early on Saturdays or giving up your Friday evening, don't worry about
> it and just come for lunch on Saturday. If you do come on Friday (or
> at all on Saturday) we'll take folks out for dinner and drinks.

> We are making a bigger set of changes this round by moving away from

> doing all the writing and running within a Jupyter notebook so some of
> is in in flux as we rework our curriculum to reflect this.
>
> We're trying to nail that down by the end of tonight. Testing tomorrow
> would be very welcome. If you notice important problems you'd like to
