What will happen in your session?

Science mini-grant awardees will present where they are on their awarded projects, present challenges and offer up areas where folks can contribute and jump in to keep the projects going. We are also planning to open the new round of mini-grants at Mozfest and the most recent cohort of awardees.

What is the goal or outcome of your session?

Highlight the open projects available for contribution through mini-grant program, generate ideas for others to start open projects, raise awareness of the mini-grant program and encourage folks to apply with their open project.

If your session requires additional materials or electronic equipment, please outline your needs.

Monitor or projector for slides. Pens for sign-up sheets. This session would also work well in the Science Fair if that's a better venue, where project leads can do demos and have in-depth one on ones with participants.
