Last weekend, we finally reach the point where all our efforts throughout the semester has been leading to, Make-a-Thon 2019. Before heading into the weekend, my team and I had a lot of concerns and uncertainty regarding the event as we felt like we are behind on our schedule and not ready for it. In addition, Samantha and I both had previous commitments that were arranged long before we knew about the dates of Make-a-Thon so we both were going to miss some parts of it.
So, we headed into Make-a-Thon weekend not is our best form but excited for the challenges that lies ahead of us. I had to take a trip to New York mid week and could not return until Saturday afternoon so I missed a day and half of Make-a-Thon. Since, we only had one teammate , Yingyi Wu, participating for the majority of the event, I was worried that the workload would be too much and we would not be able to achieve what we had set for. To my surprise, when I got back in town, Yingyi along with another teammate, Mohammed not only came up with a completely new design but managed to make a model of our product.
In the end, we came with a sandal that has extended wings which would offer Jenna additional balance support when she practices yoga. Overall, I was really proud of what we accomplished and cherish the opportunity and experience. I look forward to continue to improve on our product and continue to design with 3d priniting.
Gotta have an endgame
