Day 32
We began to work on our presentation for school. We were thinking about the different ways we can make the presentation. Things we took into consideration were poster boards, clip shows, powerpoint, and having the Three Musketeers speak.
The 3 Musketeers - Jason Kingsley, Raymond Frost, Yaniv Gorodischer
Lawrence Birnbach
Vic Leviatin (former teacher at Woodlands High School)
Obstacles
- Some guy who works in an office at the Greenburgh Town Hall. He tries to discourage us by implying that we are not working hard enough and doesn't take us or this project seriously. It is very frustrating when people think that we are not accomplishing work just because we are interns and in high school. We face this obstacle with many other companies that we call up to support us, but we are determined to make this project happen and to make a difference.
Sidewalk Obstacles
- The road is very narrow and steep. The phone poles are too close to the road and it would cost extra money to move them. Moving the phone poles closer to the houses will most likely be dangerous because we do not understand the medical consequences of living closer to the power lines.
-Liabilities of the sidewalk being on private property.
