Report on Webinar #2

Twenty-seven engaged participants. 12 North Carolinians signed up for the workshop within ~10 minutes of sharing the link.

This folder is available to the public. It contains slide decks, tips sheets, etc. from the Webinars

This folder is where Shelley keeps encouraging us to post all our drone resources so we have everything in one place.

Workshop Planning

Here are the three potential outcomes we listed for this effort. Do these still represent reality?

Downloadable e-book of STEM activity suggestions

At workshop, distribute activities and seek feedback. Everything will then go to Preston.

What do we need to do at the workshop and afterwards to get there?
