IQP experience winding down

Wow what a week its been! Between rewriting drafts to going on a toxic tour of Boston to watching Island of Lemurs: Madagascar at the New England Aquarium Imax Theater in 3D .This weeks been very busy but also fun at the same time.

This week we began rewriting our methods chapter to include in detail what we did for each objective. We began working on our deliverable's for the NEAq. We created our content details for the video game which was exhausting but once completed we all felt accomplished. We compiled specific right whale stories from the NEAq catalog, ocean vessels present in the North Atlantic Ocean, marine animals and plants present in the right whales habitat, and many other important details necessary for the video game to include. We based all our information off of the most reliable resources to reflect in the video game to make it as accurate as possible.

We took a break this week from work to relax. We went to the Imax theater and watched Lemurs in 3D. It was a very cool experience. Some of us have never been to a 3D cinema and it was a great experience to learn about lemurs and the threats they face in 3D. I felt as if I were in the movie which made the experience even more amazing. The nice thing was that we did not have to pay to see the movie which is always a plus for us broke college students! After the movie we all headed over to toxic tours and that was interesting experience to be part of. It was nice to see all the other students in IQP Boston. It was nice to catch up with others and to see how everyone's IQP is going. The tour guide of toxic tours was great. It was fascinating to see how other communities in Boston have grown and how their communities have been built. A history lesson that I'm sure we all won't forget. We also explored the NEAq main visitor building and explored the exhibits at the aquarium! Here are some pictures from the week below! Stay tune for more about our Boston adventures to come soon!
