## Ideas

* We should focus on the approach: citizen science (co-creation)
* Allow for open discussion and group exploration
* Participation from community members?
    * Perhaps virtual better than hybrid for community members 
* Workshop may be best way to go: we want it to be broader than just a specific demo, but a lightning talk is too short
* Workshops are an hour long;
