September 15-19
It has been a long week. We started the week by finalizing our revisions to our whole background chapter, whale watching, hosting a large IQP-MQP joint meeting, learning to fish for lobster, and revising our methodology.
Taken off the coast of Maine, Our Big Blue
During the large IQP-MQP meeting we were able to tie up loose ends about where are project was going. We got a concrete list of things the MQP team needs to take over our project. It was very helpful to have everyone on the same page as us, and encouraging that we seem to be on the right track - however, we have bit off more than we can chew. We were able to have a nice discussion with the Manager of Education and Programs to flesh out the specifics of our video game. Not only did she decide on a target audience for our game, she made us realize that we have two audiences, a primary and a secondary. By stating our primary audience we could then gear our focus towards them, but use all the data and research we have to state how our secondary audience could be affected by our storyline.
We are feeling the pressure now with a little over two weeks left until project presentations. Hopefully we can finalize all our material within the next couple of days so that we have time to test our storyline. We welcome any volunteers who'd like to read our storyline, the more the merrier!
