Group Change

With a few weeks left in the project, the Mission
2006 voted and as a whole decided to restructure the groups. I was put into the “mining”
group. In these new groups, we were
asked to submit characterizations and solutions that were compiled for the final
webpage and document used for the final
presentation.
