This past week we finally got to present our Google project even though it was a week later than usual. I think everyone did a great job even though Marty was a little long winded at times. Our graphics and slides were informative and I hope everyone enjoyed it. We used our Wiki to share information on this project and this is only going to help us on our verge project.
My blog is changing each week with some new ideas I get from class and my team members. This past week we were also shown how to put hyperlinks into our Wiki which will be great when we give our presentation later in the semester. This past week we also started to bring examples of innovation to class that we found in the news, or on the web. Some of the things were pretty interesting but I think mine was the most practical but I may be biased.
Our verge project is really moving ahead and we are sourcing vendors and manufacturers who can provide both materials and technology to produce and implement it. We are still coming up with alternate uses for our product and feel that it has many practical applications. A few people have e-mailed me back in response to some inquiries I made and have some positive information to share with my team.
This past week we had our Job Fair here at NWTC and over 90 employers were here. I don't know if that counts as innovation but I was able to network with at least 6 prospective employers and on Friday was contacted by one to come in for an Interview on Monday. This was for a part time logistics job with a local employer and has the possibility to turn into my internship which is a requirement for graduation. All of the HR people that I talked to liked my qualifications and the past work experience I have along with my strong grades I'm receiving during my time here at school. Which is what I have to do yet tonight is some additional research for a couple of my classes so I better get a move on. Til next week
