Challenge 0The team Building and Planning challenge required members to not only break the ice, but also begin the early stages of the city planning like City Name, and individual roles within the members depending on their weaknesses and strengths.
After a brainstorming session, the team created the logo which is currently in place for our firm, embarked on our social media journey through Instagram and Twitter, developed the mission, vision, and slogan for the firm and established potential customers and products offered. Some of the products included education (in the form of professional development, children, etc.), employment through prioritized training, and leisure activities, such as concerts and sporting events.

Challenge 2Challenge 3 tasked members with the creation of a 5 minute virtual tour of our city; a snippet of that video can be found below.
The tour highlighted different aspects of our city including infrastructure, utilities, residential plans, and sustainability plans.
Infrastructure: Healthcare System, Financial Institutions, Education Institutions, Roads, Transit buses, Telecommunications, Law enforcements, Shelters, and more!
Utilities: Our city contains a four step water treatment which includes coagulation, sedimentation, filtration, and disinfection to provide a supply of healthy drinkable water supply to citizens. We also wanted to implement solar powered plants to provide electricity which would provide electricity evenly to the entire city.
Residential Plans: REDESIGN builds houses meeting LEED Platinum ratings which meets the green standards for sustainable houses at only 5% higher cost than regular houses. This residential home offers reduced cost in energy and money, thus opening up the market to many working class citizens.
Sustainability Plan: The VR will have green infrastructure, which is effective, economical and enhances community safety water and conserve ecosystem values. The sustainability plans are totally feasible because it meets the projected budget.
