    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • The program lasted for 4 days, running from 10 AM to 5PM daily. As participants, we took part in many workshops and could listen to professionals from various backgrounds with inspirational stories. We were expected to work on a small group project after hours, however there were no specific requirements for the project, so the amount of effort was subjective to our amount of free time and energy level.
