Olivia’s Status Report for 2/10

This week was dedicated to the presentation of our proposals. I had the opportunity to represent our team and share our ideas. To prepare, we collaboratively worked on the slide deck and ensured that all crucial points of our proposal were effectively communicated. Following our presentation, we initiated discussions on material allocation, focusing on the specifics of what to purchase, the quantities needed, and the sourcing locations for our project materials. We are poised to start placing orders and assembling the necessary components. This includes procuring additional items that are deemed fragile, given our budget allows for it. We are also considering the need for multiple iterations of the rings/pendants, estimating the required number of sets that can be accommodated within our budget. Furthermore, we are paying special attention to more expensive items, ensuring they are essential and meet our project requirements. As the lead for finalizing purchases, I am tasked with reviewing each item and consulting with our TA and team members to develop a robust plan. This plan will account for any external factors that could influence our project’s success.
