First Open House Webinar

Today, we had our first open house webinar with other InvenTeams across the country. Tony Perry, the main Lemelson-MIT facilitator, led discussion in topics such as writing blog posts, community outreach and team updates. It was nice to meet other teams who share the same enthusiasm we have on our project. The Communications Team met with our principal and STEM magnet coordinator to do outreach with HISD media outlets. The Financial Team created a Twitter account, filled out a form with Southwest Airlines (concerning sponsored transportation), and the Technical Team discussed the fuel tank size, looked up the current fuel tank for our donated school bus, and received the wires for the electrical component of the project. They alsoused the thermoelectric tiles to charge a battery.

Next week will be the last meeting we have before the Winter Break. Our goal is to purchase our final components so we can start building our first (and hardest) prototype.
