In the afternoons, we broken into small groups to work on "projects". In each afternoon we tried to have three afternoon project tracks: Two projects on different substantive topics for learners with different interests and a third project that was much more self-directed.

In Sessions 1 and 2, the self-directed projects were based on working through examples from [http://www.codecademy.com/ Code Academy] that we had put from material already online on the website. In the self-directed track, students could work at their own pace with mentors on hand to work with them when they became stuck.
