## 1. Select one example of second wave technology and read about it/try it
Select an example of a so-called "second wave" technology, that you will *write* or *make a video* about. We have a couple of requests from community partners, and you can also select something based on interest. Once you select that technology, you should pick one paper to read deeply, and also try out some of accessible examples of the technology that are available now (you may need to search around to find these). The details of what you read, and try out, may vary with the topic you pick ad you can check with the instructors if you are unsure.
