Team Collaboration

The team leader, David, created the project's website design while using the opportunity to teach interested team members the basics of website design. All members worked diligently to gather information to make sure they were were well informed on their chosen subject. Emily made sure the group was well organized, keeping information properly sorted out and constantly checking if anyone else needed her help. Justin made sure that all information was kept current by periodically checking up on old research for changes and informed the team whenever something needed to be updated. Robert contributed his artistic talent by making conceptual sketches to be used on the website.

Team Diversity

The team members each have differing educational and professional interests, from an aspiring engineer with a hobby designing websites to achitecture and forensic science, and even one member who is unsure of her professional goals but has an interest in communications and drama. All of these varied interests have helped to stimulate the growth of many different ideas to advance the team's project.
