4. SUMMER PROGRAM
DEVELOPMENT PROGRESS
This round, we outlined what the program will look like in terms of
students and classes:
- Each session will host 48 students.
- These students will be rotating through 3 classes a day:
hardware, software, and business/marketing.
- Each class will consist of 16 students at a time.
- When creating their final projects, students will be working
in teams of 4. So, each class will have 4 teams at a time and
in total, a session will have 12 teams.
- Since there will be two sessions per summer, we will be
working with about 96 students in a summer.
In addition, we also focused on detailing and drafting the costs of
our summer program along with estimating revenue (see next slide).

7. TARDIGRADE
MICROGRAVITY HABITAT
The tardigrade microgravity habitat has been finalized:
- Attached carbon sheet pieces to the acrylic piece.
- Reattached lights: Lights kept falling off so I reattached them using
a double sided adhesive.
Concerns:
- Not sure if the adhesive for the carbon sheet pieces will hold up
when put in constant contact with water from the petri dish.

we currently have.

10. HOW WE FEEL ABOUT
THIS ROUND...
Christina - 9: I wish that we could have ended this round with in-person work
days but I am glad that we wrapped everything up well. I think we did a good job
this round given the circumstances.
Holger - 6: Didn’t get to complete plate scanner software due to other factors
in my life. Not too happy about that. Otherwise I at least did my part in the
poster so I have something to show for this round.
Justin - 10: This round felt like a real closure and although we weren’t able to
meet/work in person, we did the best we could and ended as high as possible.
Alex - 9: I am sad that we are ended but I am proud and happy of all that we
have accomplished.
Drew - 9: This round was a good closure to MBTS but I wish we could’ve done
more.
