Open Source Construction: IPRO Day Presentation

During the IPRO Day presentation we did something a little different. We started with a brief intro of what our project is about and showed our video (which will be posted later). We split in to three teams which included team members and judges. Each team had a different task. Here is a summary of the documentation and open sourcing team witnessed:

" wood and windows. how to improve. use as a regular window with light, ventilation and security. costs. looking at various solutions. Guest Judge Larry is holding a drill, looking at a pile of construction materials. Group 2 is trying to understand the problem and how to bring the materials together in a way that makes sense. creating a construction plan/instruction. testing out instruction for "fit" and do-ability. The room is alive with activity as the two teams are working independently towards their own goals. Technically, there are three groups - with us blogging about the processes taking place before our eyes. One the one side of the room, we have a team that's putting together a list of challenges and fleshing out requirements for a solution for a problem that's halfway around the globe On the other side, we have a team of people that are working towards visualizing a set of instructions that can be consumed by anybody in any area regardless of what languages they speak (or even if they can read or write). A lot of interest is brewing with a group of incoming guests as they are looking around and trying to figure out what's going on. I'm intrigued by the level of cooperation and collaboration that's developed in the last 20 minutes."
