During this extracurricular member-led office hours session, members are invited to join and discuss the last two weeks of the Tech FOM curriculum. Review homework, share findings, and spot solutions together.
Please note that there will not be an FFC team member leading this session, so we recommend nominating a "lead" to orchestrate the office hours. If you would like to volunteer as the lead, simply comment below.
