  This shared Miro board is for use with the entire ISGEO-22 group of participants. Anyone with the link can access it, with the password `isgeoiharp`. This is where participants should upload one personal slide and/or, one project pitch slide.

Documents and Datasets

• Miro Concept Map Instructions [PDF]
  Instructions on how to setup a Miro.com account and research concept map
  
• Participant Intro Template [PPTX]
  Before the beginning of the workshop, please create at least one and possibly two slides\: * Create one slide using the provided template that gives a bit of information about yourself * If you have an idea in mind for a problem that a team could work on during the workshop, please create one slide that succinctly states the problem. You will make a two minute “pitch” at the beginning of the workshop to recruit other participants to work with you on that problem.
