Olivia Winter 11/30- Great job starting your wiki! 100 :) 12/1- Have each member of your group type their name on this wiki page and choose the color in which they will post. Go to  [] and look through the 10 questions your group must answer. Divide the questions and have each person find the answers using the links and suggestions at the bottom of the designathon blog page.
