First drafts of our team logo

Welcome to The Quarks team and blog site! Here we will have weekly updates on what we have accomplished and what we are working on next. We are working on the software project Automated Testing Operations Monitor (ATOM) sponsored by Raytheon Technologies. Our team includes Kyle Ho-Nguyen, Dean Alvarez, Ignacio Bigott, Adrienne Brady, Nathan Gilman, Jason Hao, Jaden Lindner, our coach Cheryl Resch, Executive Sponsor Kathryn Frain, Primary Liaison Engineer Nathan Fraenkel, and Back-Up Liaison Engineer Joseph Foraker.

This week we had our first initial team meeting where we assigned team roles and responsibilities, drafted a team name and logos, and setup a weekly meeting time. Later on in the week we met with our coach who will help guide us through the process and determined a recurring meeting time each week with our coach.

Next, we are scheduling a meeting with the Liaison Engineer to discuss the project details, direction, and hopefully start working on it. We are so excited to be a part of IPPD and this project and can’t wait to get started!
