Draft Day

It's a big day in sports.  Team USA suffered a loss to Germany today; but thanks to a win from Portugal, team USA is advancing anyways!  We are looking forward to watching Team USA play in the quarterfinals.  In other news, the NBA draft is tonight.  Speaking of drafts, we wrote up a draft of our email template, which we will be sending out to interns and mentors to invite them to The Infinetwork.  It explains a little about what our project is and requests some information of our members.  Soon we will be able to start building up our network.

Back in Action!

After a beautiful weekend filled with World Cup excitement and amazing weather, we were back to work at the Forest Hills Public Library.  With our website and template still being set up for us by our friends in the Golden State, we focused this meeting on drafting some writing for the website.

First, we wrote descriptions of some projects we were involved in.  Each description features basic information (location, years active, and status), a brief summary of the project, a list of interns and mentors involved, and a section for media related to the project.  We added these descriptions to our database and will continue to build our collection as we learn more about other projects that will be presented on the site.

Additionally, we brainstormed some ideas for the design of the website itself, including a logo.  We’re thinking of an infinity sign (for the “infinite” part of our name) with “The Infinetwork” written along the curve.  As soon as we get our hands on a graphics editing software, we can begin formally designing it. 

Until next time!
