Today we presented our cardboard sitting device project that we’ve been working on for the past few days! Dr. Hunter joined us for the critiques, and we were able to have some great feedback on the work done by the students. We began our project in the Cotton District, and we will continue and finish it on Friday. We can’t WAIT to show everyone what we have done this week on Saturday.
Stay tuned for our update tomorrow!
