 Full Session
 * Discuss hackathon interests
+* Iterative design activity with praxathon interests
 
 *Pre-Work*
-* Given your shared interests, come to the session with some sense of what your object of study will be to explore it during the hackathon. What will your materials be? Are they accessible? What decisions can you make to help have a more concrete idea of what you'll work on? Could come with 1-3 things as options–things to study, to share, to remix, to work on–and we help narrow. You will come out of the session with a data source, object of study, or thing of interest that you'll then play around with over the winter in preparation for first steps in the spring.
-* Make appointments with each other to peer review your workshops or statements.
+* Our plan is going to be to continue to work towards an idea for what you will work on together. I would suggest you each come up with three potential mini-projects each for the first three topics on your ranked list. Keep in mind: 
+    * Limitations of the month. Aiming for a poster.
+    * Keep it small, but with the hope that they could grow later. 
+    * What will your materials be? Are they accessible?
+    * How will it intersect with what you are learning (the spring will be a lot of python for data analysis)?
+* Your collective list will be big (rough back of the envelope math would be 3*3*5!), so embrace the iterative chaos. Discuss and rank the top three among your group. These are what you will share with the staff. 
+* Make appointments with each other and/or staff to peer review your workshops or statements.
