Daily rhythm. Morning sessions run 50 minutes with 10-minute breaks between them; all times are Eastern. Each day closes with a 1:00–2:00 PM team project time and office hours session — time for teams to work together, for questions, and for mentoring and practice. It is open to everyone whether or not you are on a team; team participation is optional.
