So this is the list of presenting. I am not able to switch you around, but you are allowed to switch with another group if you need. I understand that these are all works in progress and how much time you have put into them, so if it is not shiny I understand. I want to see clearly what your goal is, why you want to do it, how it will work and "proof of concept" in the form of some functioning part. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Next week Dec. 8th
