When it came to communication and teamwork our meetings were our primary means of dissimination. The processes we used were breaking down specific responsibilities, a briefing of the individual accomplishments since the previous meeting, and an evaluation of the current state of the project from our advisers. Communication with our teachers helped us more efficiently complete our research so that we could broaden our skills as individuals. When we were not gathered together, we used Google Documents to share information. Another great aspect of our team's camaraderie was the ability to have one member compensate for another's weakness in the design and/or writing assignments.

With this project and like all projects, completing required research was the most critical factor. This year's project put our research skills to the test. Though the research was at times difficult we were able to rise the the challenge and find our individual areas that we were most interested in. Besides researching a multitude of sources, we had to find innovative solutions to our design problems through pure ingenuity. Throughout the weeks, we met every Wednesday to brainstorm, create, and refine our ideas. We learned that any ideas that were presented during a meeting, no matter how ridiculous they may have seemed, needed to be acknowledged and further researched because sometimes those same ideas might be the solution to the problem, as they often turned out to be.
