From Robert: This content is the main focus for August. Spend about 70% of your learning time here and the other 30% discussing other topics on the FAB5 forum. Remember, that "cross-training" and "following your passions" is fantastic for building feelings of autonomy, mastery, and a sense of purpose. So make sure you follow your passions on the forum, while helping others out. Most importantly, let's have fun!

* If you have not yet completed September's assignment, don't worry, there is no penalty! But please do find the time to answer the questions on the forum.
