Girls of Steel 2022 InvenTeam: Update #3

We went virtual in January, but that didn’t slow us down!

A lot of time last month went into preparing for our Lemelson-MIT InvenTeams Mid-Grant Technical Review (MGTR) coming up on February 26th. All our team members have made a plan for their MGTR booth and designed materials such as presentations and posters. We have some crafts planned, too! We’ve also sent out save the date emails and flyers to all our community connections, including many school districts in the Greater Pittsburgh area. We’re so excited to share our work with all our partners on February 26th. Contact us at girlsofsteelrobotics@gmail.com or buzzband.us@gmail.com for details about joining us.

We’ve made some progress on our second prototype, too. Our programming lead and mentors have been working hard to get the vibration and sound aspects of the BuzzBand working. Our Design lead also finished the CAD for the re-sized, smaller, version of the casing for all our electronics.

We received our official Lemelson-MIT InvenTeams polo shirts this month. We took a new team photo in them, with BuzzBand-themed backgrounds, too.

We are grateful for all the support that’s allowed us to bring the BuzzBand to where it is today. February couldn’t have come fast enough for us!
