Week 6: 9/19 - 9/23
Describe highlights
from the week, including major milestones and events
This week I completed my first Asana milestone and I made a final decision on what online design software I will use to design my 3rd prototype. I will be using Tinkercad. This was a highlight because this is a really cool program and I don't run into trouble downloading anything on my old computer. Additionally, on Thursday, our class had a guest speaker. Elliot Kastner, an HPA Alumni and the creator of the Mobile Virtual Player, came and spoke to our class about the lifecycle of an engineering project and engineering in college. Not only was this really intriguing because my engineering interests but also because he talked about playing sports in college while playing sports. It was really great to meet him and have him speak to our class.
Summarize tasks completed, emphasizing what was achieved
Since Elliot's presentation took up our entire class, I am a little bit behind schedule. This week I picked out the design software I will be using and I began teaching myself the program.
Explain challenges encountered and the actions you took to address them
The race against time is always difficult but I powered through on Friday and finished a rough draft of my design.
