The SSI projects were first introduced in 2013, designed to engage students and postdocs on topics related to the theme of an SSI. Participants will be grouped into teams. The teams will work during the Institute and give a report during the project concluding the presentation 
session on the final Thursday. For larger projects with many interested participants and potential different directions of investigations, forming separate teams could be considered. SLAC Today report on SSI-2013 mini-projects can be a useful reference on how the process worked. Further examples of how the projects proceeded, you can check the past SSI page for previous examples. 2023 had a special ML theme with atypical projects, while projects were not run during the pandemic editions 2020-2022. Only SSI-2019 (project page) or earlier (except 2018) had the full project web page mostly preserved. The final project presentations are always on the last Thursday afternoon and announcement of the prize winner for best project presentation in the final Friday session.
Due to the shortened 1-week program for this year compared to the 2-week long programs of previous years, this year's project scope and format is significantly different from previous years. Project participants are expected to join hands on simulation projects and experimental setup demo followed by measurements and analysis. Details to be announced at Monday Aug/10 project kick-off session..
