- What is the project rationale? (Why are the creators doing it?)
- What materials is it working with, and how were those materials processed? (h/t Miriam Posner's "How Did They Make That?" series
- Who is the audience for this project? Is the project making an effort to reach them?
- What do you think the project does well? What do you think it could improve upon?
10:45-12:00: Small groups report back and discuss findings from projects, identify questions that are raised.

Choosing and Evaluating Tools
- Who made the tool? What kind of entity are they, and what can you learn about their goals? (i.e., internet startup, for-profit org, non-profit org, individual programmer)
- What is the revenue stream for this tool?
- Can you export your data from it in a usable format? Does the export include whatever value the tool added?
- What are the tool makers doing with your data?
