On Thursday, April 28th our team participated in the Illinois Institute of Technology IPRO Day. This is the day where the students involved in all of the Inter-professional projects get the opportunity to show off all of the hard work that they have done throughout the semester. We were able to give a presentation to a panel of judges who were very impressed with the high goals that we had set for ourselves and to the extent which we have accomplished those goals. Many projects will take an entire year to design for a project and another year to fundraise. We have been able to accomplish most of these tasks in one semester.
In addition to our presentation to the panel of judges, we had a table set up and were able to tell many more people about our project. There was a lot of interest in our project, and IPRO Day turned into one of our most successful days of marketing.
At the end of the day our team was recognized twice during the awards ceremony. Erik Harpstead, a second semester member of the team, put together a video for our project which placed 2nd in a large pool of videos. Our entire team was also honored for all that we have accomplished this semester and was welcomed on stage to receive medals for our hard work. We are all very happy with how the day went, but our work is not done. We have all agreed to continue to work on the project until our first implementation trip at the end of the summer.
