#bigtakeaways

July 23, 2014 marks two critical MSU-Wipro STEM Fellowship Program milestones: the completion of the 7.9 to 7.23 summer face-to-face sessions and the beginning of the online interactions and five Saturday meetings 9.13, 12.06, 3.07, 5.16, and 7.08. On 7.08.2015, cohort one welcomes cohort two.

"Thank you's" were said, "Tweet you later's" were made, with August 8 deadline in our head. Although my Urban STrEaM is still for now, final reflection, Dream IT report and video revisions will get done somehow.
