At the beginning, when we were trying to narrow down our problem, we all sat down and made the decision together. We were all different ages, had different schools, and skillsets. But we managed to work together and divide up the work in a fair way. Since the ages of our team range from 11 to 14, we got multiple perspectives about how to approach a problem.

This year, inclusion was a huge part of our season! Even when our teammates weren't able to join us in-person, we found a way to video call, and include them in the decisions we were making at practice. For example, Kei was in Japan for three weeks. We facetimed him, so we could get input about our missions. Similarly, we called Bharvi while she was in Disneyland.

We could distribute our solution and amplify the impact by partnering with a company called Kilowatts for Humanities. We spoke with a former member of the board for that organization, and he introduced us to prior solutions that the company had implemented. We also sent emails to the company, asking if they were interested in viewing our prototype.
