I enjoyed learning about the tools that were introduced to us. However, I feel like we were exposed to so many so fast that it’s hard to know what to use for what. I feel it would have been more beneficial to expose us to say five each morning and then give us an hour to explore one of them in depth. That way, each team member could take one and teach it to the rest of the team members.
