This orientation document outlines a year-long project focused on learning through inquiry and participation in a community. It discusses guiding principles of inquiry-driven and community-focused learning that is open and allows everyone to contribute. The project involves forming teams in areas like the local community, technologies, events, communications, and research to work towards a shared goal. Success is defined as functioning like an orchestra with complementary roles and overlapping work between teams.
