* Research: this phase is crucial as you determine what your potential user base is. It entails things like surveys and user interviews.  
For now we can offer:
* Design: design in the connected devices space will be a challenge as we play with new user paradigms, but also exciting in terms of possibilities.
* The [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FYY-SjD5grtR48JkeABUEUlg9XmQH-YZke7OJ4is8l4/edit Experiment Canvas]: A tool that will allow you to think about the solutions your experiment explores, the value for users and the Mozilla mission and what team and resources you need to run the experiment.
* Technical: this will cover everything from coding, to setting up working and testing environments.
* The Office hours: mentoring from the Mozilla staff
* Funds from the Reps Innovation Fund
* A quick guide for setting up an experiment and a team. '''[[Connected_Devices/Participation/Build_Your_Own_Connected_Devices_Project|More here...]]'''




If you have an idea for a project and wish the collaborate with other Mozillians, here are a few quick suggestions and questions you should ask yourself to get started and get people to join you in your effort.
