Introduction
toc Over the course of the this class you have been exposed to many different concepts and Many careers such as medicine and engineering make direct use of physics.

Task 1 - Blog
Design is an ongoing, iterative process. A group blog will document your progress and provide a forum to exchange and work through ideas. The blog also provides the opportunity for you teacher to provide feedback on your progress and for other members of the class to share in your experience.

__Guidelines__: Blog entries should be made one of two times during spring break, and then daily, starting on April 2nd. The target length for each entry is 100 words and a photo. The photo should be relevant to the project and taken by you or one of your group members. (You are welcomed to exceed this length, but 100 words and a picture is the minimum.) You may also add multimedia links and images, as long as they are properly referenced. Group members should take turns updating the blog. It is your group’s decision whether to rotate daily or weekly.

What will you blog about? Here are a few ideas:
 * What are you currently working on?
 * What did you accomplish today?
 * What challenge are you currently facing?
 * What ideas are you considering?
 * What are your thought processes?
 * Pros and Cons?
 * How is physics related to all this?
 * What are you learning from this project?
 * General reflections?
