Food Processing---Back at ITTU!

This morning we had a team pow-wow to strategize our goals for the three remaining workdays we have at ITTU (we leave Thursday to visit our stakeholders then continue onto Accra for our last two days).  Visiting our stakeholders really made our mission and goals clear and focused, so for the next days the Tech Subteam will be completing the two Graters from last week, as well as building a third Grater from scratch with the workers at ITTU in order to transfer knowledge. The Business Subteam will be documenting our visit as well as setting up next semester’s ADE team in order to facilitate a smooth transition.

Most importantly, today we successfully worked on transferring knowledge. The Business Subteam began documenting our trip this past weekend as well as writing documents that are brief synopsis of the work we've done this semester so that the next team can pick up our work and keep moving full force. The Tech Subteam transferred knowledge by co-building with the workers at ITTU and teaching them how to build all parts of the machines. By the end of today, we really felt confident in leaving the construction of the machines fully in the hands of Deborah, Asante, and ITTU.

I'm keeping this post brief since we had such a long weekend post. We'll check back in tomorrow!

Ben making sure this tool was calibrating accurately. If you look closely, you can see it says 98 degrees Fahrenheit!
