Please feel free to drop any questions here (or start a new discussion) you have regarding the program, you want to submit a proposal idea, you want to be mentor in the program, etc.

While submitting a project idea, please tag it to be "Medium" or "Large" sized and who you'll prefer working on it "student" or "professional".
