The Summer Boost 2021 workshop was held in a hybrid format, with both virtual and in-person sessions held over one week from August 19th – 25th. The workshop was also designed to provide dedicated time for the interdisciplinary teams to work on their projects, with teams providing updates on their progress at the beginning and end of the workshop. We also included some fun outdoor activities that could be held safely, such as a volunteer service activity to Forested and a happy hour at the Hall CP!
