-developing clear criteria for students
- getting more people involved
- having a clear vision of year 2 - at times I was unsure of what to do - couldn't plan ahead as much as I'd like

# data[].attributes.body
Overall flow of program seemed disjointed at times, wished there could have been more of an overarching continuity, etc. an end goal. I would have liked to see the idea of the passion project start earlier and have the kids work through it longer
