Session Wrap up - Presentation

The consultants started out the day by finishing up their presentation. Since they did not get much done yesterday, they had quite a bit to work on. They worked a little in Photoshop to come up with characters and designed a box cover for their Spelling game. Over all, the consultants worked much better today than yesterday. Each consultant helped with the presentation and had input. The presentation went well, the developers came to the lab opposed to the consultants going over to the studio. To be honest, I was a little worried that they would not be able to put it together in time, but they pulled through.
We had peripheral play and open game play today as well. The consultants participated in testing with Barb, Greg, Eli, and Matt today. They seemed to enjoy being part of the testing process.
We presented them with T-shirts, certificates, and thanked them for their time here and their valuable input. Newsletter will be mailed next week along with a copy of their PowerPoint presentation.
