Today the
group got together and decided that some of the original plans that were going
to be put on the backpack needed to be modified. Ideas that we originally
thought to be good needed to be changed. Through the teams discussion we went
through the different aspects of the bag and tried to figure out how to make a
part or section of the bag better. Some examples of these changes included the
front and back panel’s width. Also another
feature that was redesigned was the front pocket. Instead of having two bars to
hold the roller skis, it was redesigned into just one large bar. These
challenges that we have been faced with will need to be overcome so we can build
the best backpack possible. Check out a video of one of our prototype models of
the First Wave Pack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwqdA1pElcI&feature=g-upl Thursday, December 6, 2012

We have been working very hard and making progress. We have collected several surveys and are in the process of taking all the information and putting it into one spreadsheet. We have also been producing more and more videos. We are trying to get them done more efficiently and expedite the process. Our programming team has been working on the menu bar of our website, trying to make it the most efficient and most professional looking. We have also been working on the wooden dragon for fundraising. This is just about complete and ready to be sold.

Today the First Wave Pack was hard at work coming up with new designs for the backpack. As expected, many answers from the Kingston surveys brought up new things to keep in mind while designing the bag. Also, the team is starting to go with a sleek futuristic design that incorporates pockets that can hold a lot but are not big and bulky. One of the main problems we are running into is we can’t seem to cut down on the bag’s width, but after some intense brain storming, a solution is in the works. But more importantly, this past weekend a group of high school students from a nearby school were in a severe car accident when they were hit by a drunk driver. Two students unfortunately lost their lives that night and the First Wave Pack would like to send their condolences to their family and friends. Rest in peace Chris Stewart and Deanna Rivers.
The Computer2torials group seem to have hit a road block on the programming side of things; trying to add new things to the website has broken it on multiple browsers. It feels like we are moving backwards at this point. At least the production team has been steadily making videos but we haven't been able to view them on the website yet. We have a lot of surveys to review and have many ideas for videos. Also, we are trying to get our hands on a computer that we could put Windows 8 onto so we could do tutorial videos for the new operating system.
