EchoPilot here!

This week marked the culmination of our efforts as the team presented our Final Design Review (FDR) after extensive preparation. The day comprised four key events: a demonstration for our liaisons, a keynote address and recognition for the best IPPD team presentation, group presentations during the FDR, and an open-to-the-public showcase of our prototype.

The highlight undoubtedly was the group FDR presentation, representing our final opportunity to share our progress with those who have guided and supported us throughout this journey. It was a resounding success, with the team effectively showcasing every aspect of our work.

The open showcase was equally thrilling, as it attracted new faces eager to learn about our project. Not only did we relish the chance to present to them, but their verbal feedback underscored the project’s significance and its positive social impact.

As our journey comes to a close, we extend heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has been part of our adventure. Special thanks to our coach, Dr. Catia Silva, our liaison Sriram Ramanathan from Freedom Scientific, IPPD Director Dr. Edward Latorre-Navarro, and the entire IPPD Staff and Faculty for their unwavering support and the opportunity they provided us. Thank you all for following our progress. With that, EchoPilot bids farewell, signing off with gratitude and pride!
