General Guidelines:

Create a confluence page and link it here
Contact the person you’re working with over Slack
We will check-in every Mech Check-in to view progress, and assign more research in these areas as necessary.
If there’s already research or materials on the topic: Link in your Confluence page and explain them (do a little analysis).

Expectations/Responsibilities:

We want you to be able to learn something from your task so please pick something that is interesting to you! Otherwise we will assign tasks.
Please keep your pages are up to date!
Please ask questions if you’re not sure of anything! Always happy to answer
Let leads know (if you prefer privately) if you have stuff that comes up and need a break/cannot complete your task. We want to be able to accommodate everyone the best we can and also be able to learn together!
