Lol, what!?
Who did you meet?
(no... : haha : is gone...)
Okay, I don't quite understand you, but... the tSP (no, many of us are not that talented) works like this:
First thing. You get assigned by the mentor (you prob already know this) in a school/field based on what you picked on the response letter.
There are two things you can do. The faculty offers activities in many schools, or a faculty-wide activity that ou can participate in.
eg. Physics has a TSP program in 2nd sem, which offers different research project you partake as a pair of students plus staff. This replaces some of your lab.
1st semester last year had a salinity project with activities in different schools.
The program is normally based on students picking what they want, and then groups are organised accordingly. The staff in charge then tells you what the problem is, or what you need to do, and you go about brainstorming and reading, etc.
The other way is to go to your mentor and talk about what you want to do. You can actually do a program on your own with staff assistance, or maybe join with some willing staff on what they're doing.
Most of these you spend extra time working on. Everybody picks what they want, or indeed doesn't pick anything for the time being, and go about their business.
