GOAL: Every group should something to show at the next meeting. By the next meeting you should be able to demonstrate something to the club and it should inform us what the next step is.

(Remember prototypes should be quick and dirty, take as little time and money as possible to test out the idea)

Next Meeting is 11/30/17
