This is the final live session for this program. The live session will answer any questions you submitted through the course portal and any questions you have live on these modules. In addition, we will have guest experts on live to share their lessons learned on several projects.

Important Notes:

We will be using Zoom. It is important to check your system requirements (see button to the right) prior to Monday to ensure you do not have difficulty joining the session.
This session will begin with instruction by ITE staff and lead instructors. Therefore we ask that when you join, remain muted and camera toggled off.
