We are learning to turn everything we’ve found into one finished piece of real communication. Before you touch a device: plan your opening line on paper. Then choose ONE format: Blog post (200 to 300 words, around 25 min), Presentation (2 to 3 slides, around 25 min), Poster (one page, 30 to 40 words, around 25 min), or Video (30 to 60 seconds, around 30 min).

We are learning to connect what we just learned to our own honest thinking about the future. Your task: Talk through these with someone, or yourself.

Look forward: What job genuinely interests you right now, even a little?
