While its true that many teams were running at several times, I think this is the best reason above!! OK Im biased... I used to lead the team and now live 368 miles away - Yet I was able to see what was going on and even help review the final designs! WAY fun

It was especially cool that they monitored the chat so that we could interact with the team!

And even better is that since they meet at least 5 days a week, if this works well & continues, mentors or other team members that may not be able to make it can "tune in" during some of the sessions or watch past sessions to catch up on what they missed.

It would be awesome if more teams would do this! Mentors from all teams could virtually help out rookies or teams that needed assistance. Co-opertition at its finest
