NOW WE DO KNOW WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT!
After a week of suffering from our results in the first meeting, and having no clear ideas of what was our project about (also being kind of afraid of disappointing our partner); we had our second meeting.
We all presented our ideas of what we tought the goal of the project was; and as the meeting was going on; and questions and answers started to loomp up; we could clarify better what our partner expected from the project, which were the needs and opportuny areas.
Finally we had a private meeting of how we were going to work on the solution and the next steps of the project.
WHAT ABOUT PITCHING?!
Some of the most interesting things about Demola, is that they have great workshops that help you develop necessary skills for the business world.
This is the case of "pitching or the elevator technique" - persuading people (hopefully investors) that you have a valuable idea in no more that 30 seconds (what the elevator takes to go up)- which is really useful when you need investment in your ideas.
This first attempt wasn't that bad, and we are really opthimistic and happy of our results, having into mind that at the end we are gonna be great pitchers!
OUR FIRST MEETING - NO CLEARNESS AT ALL!!
After the introduction about Demola; we were all really excited of meeting our "client" (who we prefer to refer as a partner instead); feeling that after this first meeting everything will turn clear.
Neverthless our hopes turned grey after the meeting, as we all had really different ideas of what the project was all about; so we decided to present all our different points of view in the next meeting so that our partner could choose which project's inclination should we take.
We really hope to get more clearness in the next meeting! - felt so confused u.u
Getting started!

Today was the Kick off of the Demola project; we are all nervous but excited about this new challenge we are going to face.We could finally meet each of us as a team (look for our description in the blog); and even we don't know really our project, seems that we have in the team all the necessary skills to reach the goal!
