Waterproof boots and outerwear could prove very useful. Also bring a warm hat, gloves, and sunglasses. Because we\u2019ll be working in and around unfamiliar buildings and sites, bring a pair of heavy shoes\/hiking boots to work in, ones that have a good thick sole and ankle support, and clothes you do not mind getting dirty or torn. On days we meet in class or with members of the community, casual wear is fine. For the public presentation a change of better clothes will be appropriate (formal wear is not necessary, just something nicer than jeans). Outdoor enthusiasts might like to bring their equipment to enjoy the natural surroundings in their free time, ex. wet-suit for kayaking.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Items to bring<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Please bring the following, if you have them:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Portable computer (laptop or small desktop, PC or Mac).
