Initial Push

It's funny how one's idea of humble beginnings is much more graceful than the actuality of it. That's where we began.

I was out of the country for a week and came back with a formed team. Curan, the beautiful mind and the beautiful person who I came into the class with, found three engineers to join our pair. They all had very different backgrounds and personality.

Aparna is an EECS major with a driven and motivated attitude that most people lack. Her energy drove the team for most of the conversation. Although she is younger than everyone. It was amazing to watch her contribute heavily to the team.

Tsion is also an EECS major but she has a design flare that enables her thoughts to be very different from the rest of the group. Her sense of humor and creative mind, added a new layer to the conversation each time. She is always supportive of everyone's idea but doesn't mind pushing it forward by adding new suggestions to them.

Eugene is another EECS major but it is very apparent that he has a passion for certain industries, like healthcare and the collaboration space. Although he is often the most quiet of the group, every time he speaks it always adds a lot of value to the group. We always appreciate the way he questions ideas in order to push our group forward.

The personalities were all different but what was interesting is that no one in our group truly had an idea that they had their heart set on. This is was has kept us to continually have conversations about our product. So far, we continue to dance in circles. Each of us are assigned a certain type of product that we have been exploring in the meeting and try to research further into the market in order to convince the others to also like the product.

At this stage, our ideas are still around health trackers, nutrition monitors, or developing agriculture tools. The goal is to narrow it down to just two in two weeks and finally pick one through our due diligence.
