== Budget == We spent a total of $3280 on the CDSW. We spent approximately $280 on coffee. About $350 of this funded food and refreshments during post-session meetings among the mentors. About $280 was spent on coffee, The rest (the large majority) was spent on food. Because were better able to model retention this time around, we did a much better job of ordering the "right" amount of food. We ordered: * Session 1: Pizza from Jet City Pizza * Session 2: Indian (four entrees) from Jewel of India * Session 3: Greek food (e.g., salad, hummus, spinach pies, souvlaki) from Costas Because [[Mako]] did the ordering, everybody ate vegetarian. At least one person complained about the lack of meat in Session 2 (but seemed to be confused into thinking it was present in Session 1). <!-- '''The ethnographers get the last word:''' Some observations about the culture of mentoring from a first time mentor: There are some distinct values that came through strongly. There is a clear vision of empowerment through programming. The degree of inclusivity is impressive. The culture of feedback, iteration, and reflection was really surprising such as the amount of effort that goes into improving the materials and the teaching. As is the way that other organizations are able to (and are) using the materials. The way that this is building the community. For example, how participants are organizing their own meet-ups (though that could be encouraged even more). The pragmatism of what is taught demonstrates a clear value. It would be helpful to make sure that all mentors are clear that part of what is expected of them they give pragmatic coaching. That is they should lead participants to something that works rather than telling them what an expert would do. --> <!-- LocalWords: CDSW th nd BPW Unretained wikitable HCDE iSchool --> <!-- LocalWords: Informatics Meshnet Anecdotally suboptimal scipy --> <!-- LocalWords: statsmodels cmd Powershell XP deemphasize OSX JSON --> <!-- LocalWords: Mentorship mentorship PlaceKitten TweePy SeaBorn --> <!-- LocalWords: matplotlib -->
