Each subteam should have a set of challenges for the semester. In the first meeting with each subteam, you should give an overview of these challenges and provide guidance about the initial steps teams should take to accomplish these objectives. Ensure that the team has sufficient guidance to complete their google calendar up to three weeks into the semester.
Identify Publishable Research
Every team on AguaClara does high quality research. At some point, we think that all research teams could publish their research in some avenue. There are inevitably some teams that have been conducting research for semesters that may be ready for a conference presentation or publication to a journal. Identify these research groups early and work with them to publish their results.
