We’re finishing up the fall semester! Here’s a recap of what we’ve been doing in our final days before we go our separate ways until January.

First, officially welcoming Sydney Burge to this exciting project! Sydney is a Storyteller at the Cade. Carmen is expecting a baby in January (congratulations!), and while she’s on maternity leave, Sydney will be our local eyes and ears at the Cade.

The picture above is from the IPPD System Level Design Review event held earlier this week. We presented a review of our progress up to this point, which was a great way to bring Sydney up to speed, as well as get feedback from other groups in the program. Ellie and Carmen joined on Zoom. The event also included guest speaker Jamie Kraft, Director of the Entrepreneurship Program at the UF Warrington College of Business. Plus, some networking time with some top notch Reitz Union catering.

Now we’re wrapping things up: finalizing our SLDR Report, having final discussions with Dr. Latorre and our liaisons, and delegating some design work to be done over break. Next time you hear from us, it’ll be in January 2023—and we’ll be building bigger and better than ever!
