3.  GatherTown quick intro.
    - Rooms
        - There is a room set up for each topic.
        - Each room contains a whiteboard and a shared document link on the table to HackMd. To interact, move close enough the item is highlighted in yellow and then press `x` on your keyboard.
    - Communication
        - You can only see the video of people in the same room as you. Use the arrow keys to walk over to someone you want to talk to.
        - There is also a chat in gather.town for short messages.
        - HackMd can be used for long term sharing of conversations either through your web browser or the linked document on the table in your room.
    - Document sharing
        - There is a picture of a document on the table in each room that links to the HackMd document for that team. Press `x` on your keyboard to bring it up for shared editing with video capabilities.
    - I made a short video if you want to see it in action: https://biteable.com/watch/gathertowntutorial-2745435
