Parameters for participation Explain who is going to be involved in the project. Outline who the project is designed for and any requests for participation if it is open to the outside world. If it is inviting participation, include details such as grade levels, geographical locations, the number of participants, or any other specifics that might limit participation in the project. If requesting participation, include the email of the project coordinator so those wishing to join the project can contact that person directly.
