Winds in the east! The cold’s coming in, and so are we! 

This week, the team worked on developing rough drafts of process flow diagrams for the various technologies we have been researching. Rest assured, I won’t delve into the intricate details… at least not for legal reasons. I can tell you that we have been working diligently to compose our Preliminary Design Report presentation for next week’s peer review. We decided to divide our work to research various components of the project to ensure that we get a holistic view of the technologies and solutions relevant to our project. As a team, we are both very excited and, to be honest, a tad nervous for our peers to critique our presentation. However, we would prefer they do it before our sponsors get their hands on it to save us some professional embarrassment! 

In light of the solar eclipse this weekend, we’re putting in extra effort to ensure that our dedication doesn’t get eclipsed by our individual external responsibilities. As a team, we’re making commendable progress in teamwork. We’re holding more frequent meetings ahead of our coach and liaison sessions, and communication within the team’s channel has markedly improved.
