About this Guide
Piecing it Together
This guide has a portfolio update and its a good time to revisit the process of saving your work in an accessible format. We come up with fantastic ideas, and make wonderful things, but they are not always organized in a way that we’ll ever use them again. This course is an opportunity to step back and think about what aspects of your science knowledge are important to you, your future self, friends, family, and possibly a larger community. Hopefully the portfolio will be a step towards organizing for a future of science learning and teaching.
