March 31 Mentor Meeting

At our mentor meeting, we discussed next semester's mentor meeting time (again, we spend 70% of our time discussing when to meet next). We then had sub-group updates from marketing, finite elements, construction, and outreach. The marketing team has finished the marketing team objectives and is looking into non-profits we can get in contact with. We also need to focus on how we're going to make our box economically competitive. The finite elements team planned on checking the model after the meeting. Matt found how to track one point in the model so it can be compared with the experimental group’s findings. Kudos to Matt! The construction team discussed their materials which include Styrofoam sheets and adhesive nails. Outreach is still working on a team to bring in high school students to the lab.

I'll spare you the boring parts about our Undergraduate Research Day poster improvements [Team FRESH: reference the notes in GroupSpaces for the dets]. We decided to still try to work on a concept paper, as we think it would be very beneficial to publish it. By the end of the semester, we hope to have a final, albeit very rough, draft.

Also, Ohene if you're reading this, we discussed maybe having you post on the blog... Get excited!

22 days to Undergraduate Research Day and counting,
Amina
