If we like and agree on these, I would be happy to start building call agendas for each of the calls.

[malvikasharan]

Thank you so much Yo. Thanks for putting these in the agenda. <3

[bebatut]

Looks good. I am just a bit afraid for the 3rd point that it will be already a lot on the week 6.

Do you want to add them in the agenda for the schedule in the syllabus? We could also already start a Gdoc per cohort call to aggregate the content there.

[malvikasharan]

I agree. We might be able to prioritize what to focus on and what can be offered as resources for later.
