Reflection

This was a very productive session. 8 people showed up to the session. 2 people arrived earlier to do laser cutting for the helmet design. We had the innovation lab and we really nutted out what will be happening in that space. it took a while to really work on it. The most challenging thing is when people have certain ideas stuck in their head and the logistics of those ideas is not feasible with the time frame that we have.

There were a few tense moments, however, the group chugged along and we all left with certain aspects of the work to take ownership of. it was a great moment when one of the community members said 'ideas are all very well and good but someone has to take ownership of them and make them happen'.

The group stepped up. We have only two more sessions left before we bump in. Some members are keen to come in during the week to work on props etc.
