This past week has been a busy one! Outside of the various career fair events going on concurrently, this week has been an opportunity for Pythax to do some brand revisions, meet with our liaison engineer from Raytheon, and begin to narrow down some of the major steps towards achieving success with our CTF project.

During the weekly course lecture, teams were able to present their logos and team names in order to get some feedback from peers and course administrators. This feedback proved to be quite useful, and has helped us at Pythax to narrow down our logo to be easier on the eyes:

We’ve also been able to speak with our liaison engineer from Raytheon, and have received the system which we’ll be updating and modifying. It’s a web application primarily written using Python, with some elements of JavaScript, HTML, and CSS sprinkled in as well. There were some initial hiccups with getting the system to run on our virtual machines, but those have since been cleared up and we’ll now be able to peek at the code as well as test the baseline system in the next week!

Lastly, this week gave us an opportunity to narrow down some specific goals to ensure our progress is smooth and documented. We’ll be omitting these finer details from this blog, for the sake of readability (and suspense?). But rest assured, Pythax has its eye on the future!

Until next time, thanks for tuning in for this weekly update!
