Forming groups
- Ideally, you’ll find a mix of skills - at least one person with design skills, one with coding skills, and one with “management” skills to keep the group together. I may ask you to self-identify.
- Identify people with whom you would like to work. If you need help finding a group, let me know.
Making compelling images
- See yesterday’s notes.
Free time
- Look at sample images.
- Play with MIST, if you desire.
- Do the lab.
- Ask me and the mentors questions.
