Welcome to the week of 10/25 blog post from team Electric Eye. This week we presented our PDR Presentation to our sponsor company, FPL! The team put lots of preparation into out presentation, and it was a great experience for all of us. In this blog post, we’ll share more of our experience from presenting our project and discuss a little bit about what’s next for the team.

The PDR Presentation

On Monday, the team had an opportunity to share the bulk our work that we’ve put into the project through this semester! We spent a large part of our last week preparing for the presentation, and we are happy to say that it went very well! We presented our PDR to our liaison and a few other important people to our project, and they gave us great feedback that we look to take with us into our next phase of our project. Our presentation was online, so while we were not able to meet in person, our presentation still went very smoothly. Presenting online takes away the chance for our team to meet with our liaison in-person, but we are excited for an opportunity to meet at the FPL headquarters whenever that time presents itself.

What’s Next For Team Electric Eye

Now that the we’ve completed our PDR Presentation and got approval to move forward with our project, what’s next for the team? We have all put a lot of effort into getting a design that we are in confident in, now comes the most exciting part, developing our project! For the rest of the semester, we’ve laid out a plan for the that has us developing our prototype and training our model to begin detecting hazards. This is the time for our team to utilize our engineering skills and build our project! We have Prototype Inspection Day to look forward to soon in the future, so we’ll be preparing our first prototypes for now. Then, we have our SLDR at the end of the semester.

Thank you for reading this week’s blog post from team Electric Eye, we have a lot of exciting developments coming soon, and we’ll be back next week!
