I promoted the holy heck out of SCRIW II (details posting once we've got them locked down, but provisional information was shared locally), got two kits from Charleston to Columbia (one for 2815, one for 1293), and joined in the discussion with the team once I got back.

2815's concept development method isn't the most elegant--we all more or less agreed on the general idea, but when refining the points we more or less become a prove-me-wrong-ocracy--not a democracy, not a dictatorship, but one where nobody's afraid to blow holes in another person's concept so that stronger concepts can be developed (especially amongst the mentors--we're a little gentler with the kids). We left for the day around 5:00 with some lingering questions, some of which were continued on our email list; the rest will be tackled when we pick back up tomorrow night.
