WEEK 3 – KICKIN’ IT INTO GEAR

We would like to proudly announce that Team 22 has officially decided on the team name RideOn! and the following logo.

The logo reflects our project in various ways:

  • The legs of the “R” represent a bike handle with hand brakes
  • The three wheels represent the tricycle we are modifying
  • The lime green color represents DMD (Duchenne muscular dystrophy)
  • The red color represents DMD awareness
  • The blue color represents the boys diagnosed with DMD

And our team’s name shows enthusiasm and freedom.

Now, let’s take a U-turn and see what all we accomplished this week. Last Saturday, we held our second meeting as a team and our first meeting with our coach, Dr. Cristian Cardenas. We discussed availability for future meetings and other logistics. The following Monday, we met with our Liaison, Dr. Tanja Taivassalo, and we were shown more about the history of the project, its end users, and the impact of a successful prototype. In short, this project has the potential to give children with DMD a more fulfilling and happy life. And we will all work hard for that!

In the meantime, we plan to get more familiar with our project, clear up any vague details, and have a complete overview of what we plan to deliver.

Well, that’s all for now. See you next week!
