Important Dates:

• April 21 - May 26: Students get to know the community, start researching
• May 26: Students begin coding, working with mentors for guidance
• July 7: Mid-term evaluation - we'll be doing evaluations of students and asking for feedback to help improve the program
• August 11: Wrap up coding, finish documentation, final polish
• August 18: Final evaluation, again, we'll be doing this both ways
