The end of the semester is coming up and the team is busy with preparations for the System Level Design Review (SLDR) presentation! SLDR will take place December 3rd and will include a networking hour to allow IPPD students to speak with liaisons of other companies that sponsor a project in IPPD, and a team presentations segment where teams will be split into rooms to present their SLDR to their liaisons and other teams who are in the same room. Our team will be presenting in our own private room with Arthrex to go into the details of the project, the current prototype, and plans for the next semester.

This week, the team presented the SLDR presentation to other IPPD students and coaches for peer review. The peer review revealed areas for improvement the team could take initiative of before the actual event. Areas for improvement included making presentation slides less word-heavy, adding more visuals and guides for audience engagements, and distributing the speakers more. Overall, the team did very well in elocution, energy, and showcasing knowledge of the subject.
