Week 13 Launch! – April 19th, 2024

(4.15-4.19)

Flow started Week 13 with the Soft Opening Day— aka the “previews”, the “beta release”, the “believed-fully-ready” but “with several few kinks”.

On Monday morning, Team Flow has been demonstrating our experience to several groups of faculty guests. With the amount of accomplished qualified work, we’ve received massive amounts of positive feedback. We also carried out a list of to-do tasks with careful scope & time-control.
