Agenda

  1. Freshers events

    • Do both hardware and software on Monday?

      • DT (PCB design is not useful, we should be focussing on stuff for summer school)
      • freshers bots untested
      • cancel hack weekend next weekend and move intro to hardware session to give time to test freshers bots
