Summary
This period takes us to the midway point in the semester. We are using this time for reflection and an opportunity to do mid-semester evaluations for each Project Lead
New Structure
In our most recent leadership meeting we had each Project Lead go over their original goals and the scope of the project and compare their progress to it. Based off of these results we redistributed a lot of our efforts and changed team dynamics. All teams have revised their semester expectations.
Research Reviews (Lead, Harrison Canning) - This team has been disbanded and redistributed into a content management team. Instead of writing research papers, the team will write short blog pieces, produce videos, and be in charge of web development, social media, and events.
Robotics (Lead Hillary Li) - This team has been disbanded. Robotics will now fall under the Hardware Team
Thought Keyboard (Lead, Forrest Shooster) - This team will have its activities temporarily haulted while we wait for the Machine Learning and Hardware teams to produce. Forrest's influence and expertise will continue to be felt through all of the teams as he transitions into a general advisory role.
Machine Learning Team (Lead, Bahdah Shin) - This team will be receiving a secondary lead to assist Bahdah in increasing the pace of the group, improving communication, and efficiency
Hardware Team (Lead, Russell Cobb) - This team has expanded significantly
