What types of Outreach do you plan to do for this season? Which of those Outreach initiatives are you most proud of?
We are hoping to partner with outreach programs in our community such as the SC Aquarium and other non typical community outreach.
What competitions will you be attending? Which of the ones that you listed are you looking forward to the most?
We are hoping for redemption at state competition. If we get there again, we have some lessons learned that we would like to try out.
Describe a unique or noteworthy strategic device or element that you think would be useful for this game.
New strategy this year. We are going to try out Matt B's 12 week season plan, we are writing up a Kanban board and we want to try out the simulator for decision making.
How would you describe your design process? How many options/strategies do you compare? How do you visualize your designs before building?
We have come up with our very design process motto- SPARK. We will be trying out new design tools this year and would love to share what works for us and what didn't.
