Week 7: March 4, 2022 – 1/2s

This week was focused around preparation for, execution of, and reflecting on our 1/2s presentation. We were able to reserve the RPIS for a rehearsal, where we did a full run-through of our presentation. Additionally, we worked with our advisor, Dave, to talk through all of our slides. We found the meeting extremely productive and changed our approach to the presentation after meeting with Dave. Our presentation was focused on informing the audience about the purpose of our research and our goals with the final transformation.

We presented on 2/28 and the presentation video can be found at the following link: ECHO Halves Presentation

The slides from our presentation are below.

Following our experience with halves, we decided to start focusing on having team members take on individual roles in smaller teams. Prior to this change, our team members did not have especially defined areas as to what they would individually be working on. This approach was beneficial at allowing team members to be very exploratory and learn new things, but now that we are moving more into production from pre-production, we wanted to start having more structure.
The redefined structure (or other possible changes) will likely be defined at length in the next blog post.

We will be on Spring Break from March 4th until March 13th and will return to normal operations on March 14th.
