Guiding Questions to Define The Relationship:

What are each of our learning goals for this project? What drives us in this project? Continue to learn about how the different things we have learned about work and fit together. Get better at problem solving using more pseudo coding. Becoming fluent in the git workflow.

What is your collaboration style? How do you feel about pair programming vs. divide-and-conquer approaches? Start with pre-teaching in order to be prepared for when we do meet and practice paired programing, making better use of our time.
