Spring 2026 CramSesh

We will provide the pizza, the soft drinks, the prizes, the powerstrips, the tables, the quiet camaraderie. You arrive with your (optional: missed) deadlines, laptops, big projects. 

To open the event–we will ask each participant to brainstorm for two minutes: What do they want to accomplish this afternoon? We’ll ask every participant to share this goal with their neighbor. Then: Ready, Steady, Go! Work for 1 1/2 hours. Then pizza and soft drinks at the halftime break. Next, work. Then report in to your neighbor what you have accomplished. And at last–prizes!
