The official kick off was held Monday - everybody was unrecognizable in their dresses, suits and ties after the shorts and t-shirts we wore during the weekend.
Looking at pictures from previous CSC teams kickoffs I guess ours was pretty 'normal', but since neither of us have ever tried this before I do think that I was not the only one feeling a bit overwhelmed.
We started with IBM and VSO (our NGO partner) presentations, then each of the IBM CSC team members presented ourselves including the motivation for having applied into the program. Last but certainly not least our 3 different organizations presented themselves and gave a short introduction into the challenges they see and would like us to help them with.
At lunch we had the first chance to be in direct talk with the organization that we will be working with for the next month. Fantastic people, especially the spokesperson who has a very eager and colorful personality. We had the chance to ask some of our many questions and we had a fantastic first day.
