Day 2 summary:¶
Please complete the warm-up with your team, briefly review today’s objectives, and carefully read the Day 2 and Day 3 report out items to guide your efforts.

- What’s one thing you would change? We would narrow in earlier, census data availability
- Did your group ever have an “ah-ha” moment? What led up to that moment? When we picked a plan.
- Did your group experience the groan zone? What is one tip you want to share with future groups at the Summit about getting through the groan zone?
- Yes, we are currently still in the groan zone - difficulty with having data for each year or for ranges
- Difficulties with ability to continue
- Knowledge of different programming languages
- Ease with tools
Looking Ahead: Day 3 Report Back¶
These are the prompts for the final Report Back tomorrow (Day 3) - start thinking about these questions as you work today. Each group will share their Day 3 GitHub page on the screen and give a 4 minute presentation.
- Project Title: Snow Birds
- Research Question: Demographic and Economic Costs of Climate Change in an Arid Ecosystem
- One interesting graphic/finding:
- What are you thinking about doing next with your team? Long-term, short-term?
- What’s missing: what resources, people, data sets, etc. does your team need? Resources / time
