MLTI Conference 5/22

The biggest part of this project for you today was the MLTI conference. You woke up at 5:30 to carpool up to the UMaine Campus in Orono. Once you were there you spent some time milling around and going to some of the smaller presentations. After a pitiful lunch you prepared for the presentation. As a "Keynote Speaker" you presented for the whole group of attendees. The presentation went off more or less without a hitch, and people seemed really interested in the project. For you the best part of that day was afterward when a little girl, probably in 6th grade, came up to the group at the T-Shirt booth and told you all that you all really inspired her, that was really heartwarming for you. After that you headed to Nick's to add floatation material and a casing to the tether. The tether is now looking incredibly professional.
