Weekly Report #31 (5/4)

This week in ISM I have finalized my final product, updated my portfolio, and continued to prepare for my FPN presentation. For my final product, I had to make some small tweaks to the design as the previous version wasn’t very durable and the hinge mechanism broke easily.  After updating the design, I got the glasses reprinted and they were much stronger than the previous version. Also this week, I updated my portfolio. I had a peer look over my portfolio and made some changes in order to make the portfolio look more professional. Also this week, I finished handing out the last of my FPN invitations and found a volunteer to help me with my presentation. Lastly, this week I continued to prepare for my FPN speech and worked on reducing my use of filler words. Overall, I would consider this week a success as I was able to finalize my portfolio and also update my final product. Next week, I will finish my FPN speech PowerPoint and also get my board ready. For my board, I will add some information about my mentor, shadowing experiences, and final product. As well, I will also prepare my short mentor statement so it will be ready for FPN night.
