Our team this year consists of five: two game design students Heather Conover and Alison Seffels, two programmers Jeremy Burau and Bryan Hare, and one artist Mike Ackerman. Mike is working under extreme pressure as I write to get a graphic to the Masie team before the morning general session.
Also here with me are Ray McCarthy-Bergeron, Sarah Jerger and President Dave Finney. Sarah, Ray and my job is as the pit crew! We are not allowed to touch their keyboards or feed ideas. We can help frame ideas, field questions, interact with attendees, act as liaison to Elliott's team, and deliver food and beverages.
Last night the team was given their challenge. Here's the video from that:
Wish us good luck and you can follow us on Twitter @CClearns http://twitter.com/CClearns and EMC's Facebook http://www.facebook.com/ChamplainEMC as we move ahead. Less than 72 hours to complete.

Thanks for the update Ann! Bryan has been keeping me posted but in very small increments. Your outlines help me understand what you are doing in whole. Thanks so much for bringing this opportunity to these students, all the students you and your staff have touched. I cannot tell you how inspiring it is to see the students get this real life experience knowing how powerful it will be when they enter the real world. And cool to get a conversation with Malcolm Gladwell, very cool. Good luck and keep the updates coming!! Dawn Hare
Thanks Dawn! Yes it has been a wonderful opportunity...we're counting down. Today the group eagerly gave their business cards to a professional asking if they wanted real jobs :-)
THat's encouraging!!!! I hope that these contacts turn into real bonafide offers somewhere down the road. THanks for all you do!!
