This brings us up to 6 in person and 6 remote! I am working on the logistics of 5 three hour blocks each followed by a hour meal break. It will be a lot of work but it should be worth it. The lecture, tutorial, explore, break sequence should give us a nice rhythm that will suit both in person and remote learning. I am planning on giving the lectures. Dogi can run the tutorial sections. I am particularly interested about how the free exploration hours will go. The participants seem to have a wide variety of backgrounds and interest. So, the exploration will take us in interest directions. We have many more details to work out. It could be a total flop or it could be a home run. But it seems worth the risk. david
