Kickoff Recap + Build Schedule

Thank you to all of you who made it out to kickoff yesterday -- we had a very productive day of brainstorming and it was great that we got working on some initial prototypes. Today’s small leadership meeting was a valuable way to finalize our ideas for a preliminary strategic and design plan. 

We will be presenting this plan at tomorrow’s build meeting around 3:45 and taking questions, suggestions, or ideas from all of you. You can check her message on the #updates channel in Slack for a summary. 

Now that the build season has officially begun, we will be following a regular schedule for meetings each week. Every week, we will meet from 3:00 to 8:00 on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday and 12:00 - 8:00 on Saturday. We will be serving dinner at each of these meetings, but please eat lunch beforehand on Saturdays. Make sure to turn in your build form to Dr. Nelson’s submissions box if you anticipate coming to any meetings throughout the season.

If you are in the mechanical or software subteams, please check the pinned messages from today in the #mechanical and #software channels to let us know your anticipated attendance. We will be sending out a form tomorrow (Monday) evening for everyone who has turned in their build form to sign up for dinner; you do not need to sign up to eat tomorrow’s dinner. Additionally, we will be sending out another form (tomorrow evening) to your parents so they can sign up to bring food (they will be fully reimbursed) to our build season meetings. We get dinner only from parent volunteers, so please encourage them to sign up and help out when the form goes out! Try to bring food at least once over the duration of the season — it is an easy way to give back to the team.

Feel free to check out our presentation at Build Season Presentation to refamiliarize yourself with some of the nuances of build season.
