This week we went to present our software to Freedom Scientific! This event was fun while also stressful– the days leading up to it we were making last-minute changes to the software and presentation to make sure it was the best it could be! We arrived at the company early in the morning so we can practice the dual virtual/in-person presentation, and also so we can get a tour of the company! It was interesting to see how the office was working in-person (mechanical team) vs online (software team), this adaptability that came about due to COVID was interesting to see in real life. One really cool thing we saw during the tour of the office was the Freedom Scientific server! I’ve never seen a server that took up a huge room before so it was really interesting to see. Most people don’t learn how to use/keep up a server that large in any class, as most of it is learned via the company you are working with!

At the end of the day, we had an amazing time, presented our software without a hitch due to our last-minute modifications, met a lot of amazing employees, and ate free food! We enjoyed this outing to Freedom Scientific and appreciate the fact that IPPD was able to support us in going down to Clearwater!
