In collaboration with our friends at the Mozilla Science Lab, our research team has created a survey that will help us understand your experience at MSL Global Sprint and how events like this build communities, help people learn, and enhance software. Our goal is to use your feedback to help the Mozilla Science Lab, and other organizations that run hackathon-style events, provide the best possible experience.<br class=""><br class="">The survey should take about about 10-15 minutes. You can take the survey now via the following link: <div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><a href="http://cmu.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_8vsyUaAX5vfctvf" class="">http://cmu.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_8vsyUaAX5vfctvf</a><br class=""><br class="">As Arliss has already mentioned while introducing us, Mozilla Science Lab is not running this survey, however we will be sharing aggregate and anonymized findings with the organizers to help them improve future events. <br class=""><br class="">Please don't hesitate to contact either myself or Anna directly if you have any questions about the research or this survey. We look forward to hearing about your experiences!<br class=""><br class="">Thank you in advance for your time,<br class=""><br class="">Erik Trainer (<a href="mailto:etrainer@cs.cmu.edu" class="">etrainer@cs.cmu.edu</a>) <br class="">Anna Filippova (<a href="mailto:annafil@cmu.edu" class="">annafil@cmu.edu</a>)<br class=""><br class=""><div class="">---<br class="">Erik Trainer<br class="">Carnegie Mellon University<br class=""><a href="http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~etrainer" class="">http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~etrainer</a><br class=""><br class=""><br class=""><br class=""></div><br class=""></div></body></html>
