Embedded in the project time will also be a set of **professional development activities**: a series of Impact Talks, meetings with mentors, and career panels.

### POD INTRODUCTIONS W1D1
_Monday, 17th July (PM) for everyone_

On W1D1, you will meet your pod 30 minutes before the regular start of the tutorial time for introductory activities. Your pod’s Teaching Assistant will also tell you the project group you have been assigned to and its project topic. In some pods, the two groups will work on the same topic while others might be assigned two different topics depending on student interests. If you wish to work in the other group, discuss it with your Teaching Assistant.

During the pod introduction on W1D1, your Teaching Assistant will also inform you about your project group’s schedule for watching and discussing the Impact Talks. One group will do this activity during the first 30 minutes of a project block, while the other will dedicate to it the last 30 minutes of a project block. The discussions following the Impact Talks will be facilitated by you - the students. Each discussion should have one student leading from the front and one student leading from behind, with every student in your project group taking on one of these leadership roles at least once. Your Teaching Assistant will help you appoint yourselves to these roles during the pod introductions. You can read more about the associated responsibilities [here](https://comptools.climatematch.io/projects/professional_development/impact_talks.html#guidance-for-discussions).

You should now have a sense of the data, and you have probably refined your hypothesis a little. Writing a proposal will have helped you get a rough idea of what tools you might use to tackle your research question, and what the answer could look like. You will use the remaining project time to implement the analyses you have planned and make progress towards an answer. Your group might not be able to complete their research plan, but don’t get discouraged: answering a research question usually takes months if not years of work and you should consider making meaningful progress towards that goal a great success!

### SESSION 7

Continue working on your project! Make sure to reconvene with your teammates every 1-1.5 hours to discuss your progress. If you are struggling with something, ask others for help right away! Use your Project Teaching Assistant and your pod’s Teaching Assistant as a resource when your group gets stuck.

On Day 7, the curriculum of the course will start shifting from topics surrounding physical climate phenomena to issues of socio-economic impact as well as mitigation and adaptation strategies. This is a good point to start thinking about the impact the research topic you are studying as part of your project has on ecosystems and communities.

### W2D5: FINAL PRESENTATIONS
_Friday, 28th July (PM) for everyone!_

This is the day you present your project to other groups in your megapod. You can invite your Project Teaching Assistant too, but they might not make it if they are busy. Groups will take turns to share their screens. You can use figures and other graphics to highlight specific aspects of your research, but your presentation is meant to be told as a story, and everyone from your group should take their turn in telling a part of that story. Tell us about the different hypotheses you have had at different points and how you refined them using some of the tools you learned during the course.
