SESSION DESCRIPTION: 

Day Two of Winter Workshop is focused on the people and community of SDP. We will break into two groups (C15 and C16) to share. This session is labeled as "general", but will split into cohort based meetings after our Day 2 kickoff and welcome.

A longstanding Fellowship tradition, each Fellow will have the opportunity to share their leadership story, also known as a Formative Experience story, with their cohort. The programming is designed to build fellowship community, support for one another, and further develop each of our leadership capacities. Sharing our leadership stories allows us to better understand what has led each of us to do the work we do, and how we continue to be inspired to make a positive difference in education.

SESSION DESCRIPTION:
Join us as we engage in some fun networking games and activities. In addition to having some fun, these activities are designed to further build upon the connections we’ve made with one another, bringing us closer to appreciating the commonalities we share, and celebrating the unique skills and personalities we each have. Based on your ranking from our survey, we’ll endeavor to place you in one of your top selected activities. This activity is: Charty Party

Have you played Apples to Apples? Do you like explaining graphs to others? If you said yes to either—or both—of these, Charty Party is the game for you.
This game will balance pedantry and laughs with some friendly competition as we all strive to apply the funniest or most accurate labels to graphs, and then vote on them! This game will be played in teams, and the winning team will receive bragging rights and a (virtual) trophy.
The session will start with an explanation of the rules and a practice round, so come whether this is your first time or you’re an old pro.

You'll want to have access to the following resources during the session (all will be explained):

SESSION DESCRIPTION:
Join us as we engage in some fun networking games and activities. These activities are designed to further build upon the connections we’ve made with one another, bringing us closer to appreciating the commonalities we share, and celebrating the unique skills and personalities we each have.

This activity is: MURDLE, a logic puzzle collaborative game.

Channel your inner Angela Lansbury and bring your best reasoning skills to help solve the MURDLE of the day. We will warm up with a whole group effort by solving a mini practice puzzle. Then, each detective squad will breakout to dissect the puzzle of the day to identify clues and eliminate red herrings. We only have 60 minutes, can we solve the mystery?

Want to check it out ahead of time? Explore the MURDLE webpage to get familiar with the format and explore the features. A new puzzle is uploaded each day, and increases in difficulty throughout the week. Refrain from peaking at the puzzle ahead of time the day of our session!

Select this session for a fun, non-competitive puzzle solving experience with your fellow logic and deduction lovers.
