First Project Meeting - Aberdeen
We held our first project meeting at the Toadhall Rooms in Muchalls, south of Aberdeen. 30 January - 2 February 2024. This was the first time we all met in person (with the exception of one team member who had to participate online due to flight cancellations). We held workshops where we studied objects, discussed future ideas for the project and all project members gave presentations, as listed below.
