Website Launch and Development Milestones
We're excited to share some major milestones in our team's development as we continue preparing for our debut competition season.
Portfolio Development
One of the main focuses for this month has been portfolio writing. As part of the judging and competition, each team must put forward two portfolios. They are both five pages long with one focusing on enterprise and the other focusing on engineering.
We have been researching, writing and designing these portfolios to fully show the effort and time we are putting in to succeed as a team. Not only can we explain the thought process behind the details and manufacturing of the car but also about how we market ourselves, project manage and the explanation behind our brand identity.
All of the team members have been working hard writing their respective sections to complete this crucial task.
Website Launch
The biggest event that happened this month was the launch of our website designed and developed by our graphic designer Tom. Nowadays, with the dependency on modern technology, it is vital to have a web presence.
This is because there is an automatic response to wanting to know more about an organisation, and that is to look them up. We hope to reach a wider audience and be able to connect externally to those who are not yet aware of who we are.
- Our website contains vital information about our team such as:
- Our team photos and role descriptions
- Our values and slogan
- A sponsorship section with contact details
- Recognition and thanks to our valued sponsors
Silverstone Museum Media Day
Recently, the team got the opportunity to visit Silverstone Museum for a dedicated media and marketing day. We made the most of our time there working on many different marketing types and creating content which can then be distributed to our various platforms over time.
Another form of media that we worked on is a video for our website. This was arranged and coordinated by our media and marketing manager Amy.
Car Development Progress
Another big update is that we have started manufacturing iteration two of our car. This means that the next design has been completed. After each iteration of the design and manufacturing, our design engineer Harry goes back to look for areas for improvement.
After this second iteration has been completed, it will be time to resume work and push forward. This includes taking the most positive aspects into the next design and adjusting the more negative aspects to further improve for the next prototype.
