Wow. Apologies to the team for this missing post. I was almost sure I had posted it on the Friday before break on my way to New York, but Bolt Bus's Wifi can be finnicky. I hope everyone had a great spring break and was able to find their parts of the outline of the thesis paper in the google doc where the previous less detailed outline was.
Minutes from March 17 meeting.
Jason informed the team that the letter to Dr. Wallace detailing our grant expenditure was in, and we have since been approved to use our funds to send 3 of our members to the Unite For Sight Conference at Yale in April.
The Materials for Construction sub-team detailed their assumption in ordering materials for the initial prototype construction. The initial model will have 1 cubic foot of storage space and therefore be on the larger side of WHO prescribed cold boxes. It will be assembled from styrofoam insulation sheets, polycarbonate glass and corrugated plastic. Some questions remain on the best way to attach these parts together, and Dr. Shah suggested there are some pretty handy guys hanging out in machine shops around campus that will usually answer a quick question about these things.
The marketing team gave an update on the first three sections of the marketing plan template which are Goals, Objectives, and Audience. There was some discussion about this. I suggested that the Audience should specified as two parties: users and customers; the users are the health workers in the rural health clinics and the customer is most likely an employee or committee at UNICEF.
The rest of the meeting was spent outlining the first 3 parts of our Thesis and splitting up parts among the team. The resulting outline is available in the "NSF Proposal Assignments" google doc.
