C) What was the most CHALLENGING element re: the past week's CAT
work: Conducting the live stream from the Gund Tea. We had problems with the
camera that we checked out from the library. It would not work with our
computers and only one of our computers would allow for us to do a Facebook
live stream.
D) What was the most REWARDING element re: about the past week's
CAT work? E) What is your CAT doing really well right now?
Communicating with each other and equally delegating tasks that
need to get done. Deciding on what to do with our $200 budget, probably using
towards helping with audio and equipment for live stream event at Gund Slam.
F) What is your CAT needing to work on right now?
F) What is your CAT needing to work on right now?
Getting our community partner to email us back about who we are
using our budget to. We are planning on using our budget towards a freelancer
for the GUND SLAM
1) Deliverable #2 (Specific): Our deliverable #2 includes
hosting a Facebook live event at the Gund Slam which will be at the Alumni
house on UVM campus. We will also be finalizing our primary role during the
GUND SLAM. We have reached out to Basil multiple time and waiting for a response.
2) Our 200 dollar budget will go towards finding a freelancer to
help us with audio and equipment for the GUND SLAM event. Since it is a large
room the camera that is provided at the library will not work for our event. We
need someone with better equipment, to allow the viewers to hear and see the
speakers clearly. We have contacted Elisa about our budget.
