📓 Engineering Notebook

Our design process, testing logs, and iteration notes — documenting the journey.

📅 Latest Entries

Engineering notebook entries will be uploaded here as the season progresses. Each entry follows the design process: Identify → Brainstorm → Select → Build → Test → Iterate.

Every notebook entry includes:

Date & Attendees — who was there
Objective — what we set out to accomplish
Process — step-by-step work done
Results — what happened (including failures)
Reflection — what we learned and next steps
Photos/Sketches — visual documentation
