This week was a turning point for Team 14 as we began shaping our ideas into action. With clear guidance from our liaison and coach, the team is aligning on expectations, responsibilities, and the path forward.

Meeting with Liaison

Our team had a productive meeting with the liaison to review project requirements and specifications. This discussion gave us valuable insight into the company’s expectations and helped us fix a regular time slot for liaison meetings. We also prepared a presentation to communicate our initial thoughts and had an introduction session with the Liaison Engineer, setting the stage for future technical discussions.

Meeting with Coach

We also met with our coach, Dr. Andrea Ramírez-Salgado, to discuss project expectations and confirm a consistent schedule for team and coach meetings. These conversations are helping us build structure and keep communication strong.

Team Collaboration

Through a Brain Walking activity, we gathered ideas from all members, which sparked creative ways to improve our outcomes. We also discussed the product’s needs versus wants, a key step toward defining priorities. Additionally, the team emphasized the importance of creating multiple dashboards, including 3D floor plans, asset management, and energy optimization.

Looking Ahead

Next week, we plan to establish clear milestones, work on the liaison engineer’s expectations, and continue gathering product requirements and specifications. Our liaison is in the process of sharing data with us, which will be crucial for formatting documentation into usable datasets for predictive ML models.

By the end of this week, Team 14 is no longer just planning — we are actively building momentum. With clear goals, supportive guidance, and a collaborative spirit, we are moving steadily toward success.
