Innovation Project

The team spent a good portion of the meeting reviewing the Innovation Project, which focuses on developing innovative sandbags that could be more effective. Team members shared some research they found about current sandbag limitations. Everyone contributed ideas, and a solid direction for the prototype was agreed upon.

Preparing to present your ideas quickly and effectively is crucial. The team took time to discuss and brainstorm how to structure their elevator pitch. All asked some great questions about how to hook the audience in the first 10 seconds. They had a great idea for a quick demo to include during the pitch. They plan to polish and rehearse this pitch in the coming weeks.

A key part of the Innovation Project is conducting an expert interview, and the team is taking this seriously. The team created a detailed game plan for how to approach the interview. Wanying suggested potential experts to reach out to. They practiced asking open-ended, thoughtful questions to get the most out of the conversation.

More Fun Time

To wrap up, the team reviewed and finalized a To-Do List to keep everyone on track.

After a focused and productive session, the team took a break to enjoy a quick game of football in the yard before heading home. It was a great way to blow off some steam and enjoy the time together.
