Students will spend 2 hours a month in lectures and interacting with their mentors in scheduled sessions. Attendance to these sessions is mandatory for all school teams.
Students attend monthly lectures and meet with their mentors (2 hours per month). They are expected to work on their solution in between the monthly lectures with their team. After each session, students are assigned a deliverable to complete. They are expected to complete this deliverable and report back on their progress to their mentor at the next session
Sessions will take place on weekday from 4-6pm EST
Teachers are welcome to join the 1-hour group sessions, but they are not required; their primary involvement is as the adult liaison between each school team and the GII program. Following the sessions, students will meet with their mentors, and teachers have the opportunity to join colleagues in the teacher sessions.
