This week we have worked on our Team Pages and presentations. We needed to do a little tweaking on our Team Page. It wasn't anything major, but it needed to be completed.

This week I took a look at the Team Tigers from SRMS. Their paperprototype looks very creative. It will be difficult to complete as planned, but I have the up-most confidence in their ability.
