Re: Post Season Mentor Meetings

We have had a very successful first year and most of the feedback from our students was quite positive. However, there were a number of things we need to change for next year. We are blessed with a large number of students interested in software, with varying levels of software knowledge. We had struggles getting enough projects for each student to have some engagement and ownership, and then had to figure out how to share the available hardware between all the different software teams. Not everyone came out of that fully satisfied. I think the students who had very little existing experience felt the most intimidated, especially toward the end of the build season, since we are scrambling to get things working and they are least able to contribute during this phase. We will try to balance things better next year.
