Episode XIV: Taking it to the Streets

Now that we have been given the official go-ahead for NASA, the time has come to start getting the word out to everybody about our project. Today, we put on a small presentation for Humber's media outlets. Representitives from Humber's marketing department, Humber Life, Humber Et Cetra, and the Humber Student Federation came and joined us in Screening Room B for out presentation this afternoon. In a nutshell, we explained all the work we've done so far, and how we would like some media coverage. Following the presentation, we had a Q&A session where everyone could ask us questions about the project, and then a tour and photo shoot on top of the N building.

Personally, I am so excited that we've come as far as we have so far. As we explained during our presentation, it hasn't come easy at all. As a team, we've had our fair share of obstacles. The important thing, though, is that we always manage to overcome them. We may not always agree on everything, but we respect each other enough to know that we all have vaild opinions.

I have a few surprised planned for this blog, which I plan to roll out in the next few weeks. Keep your eyes peeled for some big changes, and expect to see a lot more of us around!
