Once you have found the right experience, or an educator has found your project and believes it is a great fit for their experience, you will be able to utilize the match request tools and workflows to:
Have a private conversation with the educator where you can discuss details, book meetings, and have video conference calls using the message center.
Propose and negotiate changes to the project scope and details and easily see what has been proposed vs the original project description
