The team successfully presented the System Level Design Review (SLDR)! The event included a networking hour for students to meet with other liaisons from different IPPD teams, as well as a keynote activity where students had the opportunity to learn from liaisons and coaches about how to prepare for industry. After these activities, the team presented our SLDR in a private room, as well as gave a live demonstration of the current prototype to Arthrex liaisons, Troy Garrison and Elizabeth Wildsmith. Troy and Elizabeth gave the team some advice for development into the next semester and ways to present the final prototype to the rest of the Arthrex team such as ensuring we had a plan for how Arthrex would sell the product. Overall, they were happy with the team’s progress and excited to see how the final prototype will turn out! 

The team will be heading into winter break next week and will come back in January with fresh minds ready to hit the ground running! Our goals as a team will be to begin experimentation with flow rates and 3D printing more iterations of the attachments to the system.
