Cross Team Sharing - using Calisphere resources

These are some ideas to get you thinking about the informal sharing with other Calisphere teams.

Use this wiki space to jot down notes for each team member.

Use the questions as a guideline and be prepared to BRIEFLY share your answers to one or two questions ONLY  (time limit of 3 minutes)

1. What did you explore or experiment with? 
2. How did it work?
3. What is something cool you found on your own?
4. What were the challenges you encountered?
5. What is something you still want to do?
6. What advice do you have for others...
