Hello IPPD faculty, students, and anyone else tuning in,

This week, we had our official PDR presentation in front of the Food Science board sponsoring our project. We were a bit nervous at first, but all went well. They were super friendly and provided insightful feedback into our project. For some of us in Dream Steam, it was our first ever professional presentation in front of a board having sway in our project and providing the funds, rather than just a simple presentation for a class project. We’ve spent the rest of the week taking all feedback into account in order to prepare for demonstrating our prototype at Prototype Inspection Day. We know there will be challenges in deciding what to keep and what to leave out for our first prototype demonstration, but we look forward to working together and tackling those challenges head on as a team. Some feedback was minimal in regards to our overall scope of work, but some will require us to shift our focus and think in new ways. It may seem daunting, but know that Dream Steam will show up and show out!
