Divide and Conquer

Today we sat down with the group and discussed our project. We made headway and divided up some tasks among the groupmembers seeing as we are all quite busy and making time to meet as a whole is quite difficult. Our plan now is to be finished a week ahead of schedule just to have the last week for doing final touches.

On a side note we had discovered two competitions which we are looking into entering just to spread the word even more (since that is one of our goals). The competitions are the "2011 AECOM Student competition: Urban SOS: Water" LINK and "Global Design Village: Disaster reduction: Saving lives through design" LINK.

Meeting with Ulla and Matleena

Yesterday we had a meeting with Matleena and Ulla and they were really interested in our trip and work and were asking a lot of questions. We told them about all the hard work and all the fun stuff too. We even showed them the presentation we had made for our last day over there. Well we just showed it in brief, after all, it was 50-60 slides. They seemed quite pleased with our work so far even though we still have quite far to go.

After the meeting we went out and had a group lunch (and later coffee) so that we could discuss our project a little bit more now that we had gotten some input from Ulla and Matleena. Some progress were made and we are quite confident the project will be finished before the deadline, well not realized (our time-span for that is about 20 years), but finished as in "one part of it is done".
