There have been 116 students and 44 teachers who have successfullyparticipated. The research program was conducted on campus in 2019, but due to COVID-19, theprogram was conducted online in 2020. In 2021 and 2022, the program was redesigned to behybrid, and six host sites participated. Despite the changes in the program, students' prowess wasenhanced by their teamwork and engagement in the projects. The post-program survey raisedconcerns about

We made the decision to groupchairs by college when offering the workshop, with the hope that this would lead to groups ofcolleagues sharing similar challenges and perhaps even a distinct culture within their college.Also, chairs within the same college generally have a baseline level of rapport, which
