VIP Tour of Boeing

DSC_0057

Today we had a field trip to the Boeing Plant in Everett!  Engineer Scott Shields arranged for us to have a VIP tour, which put us right down on the work floor.  It is the largest building by volume in the world!  To give you an idea of how large, you could fit an entire Disneyland and still have 12 acres left over!  It was like a whole city in that building.  They even had their own crosswalks, coffee shops, bank, massage place, and pigeons.  Amazing, I know.  It was such a great tour, we've learned to much. We even found out that the 787 is being built out of carbon fiber, just like our trike.

Commitment? No doubt.

This last week it was Spring Vacation for our school.  We all came back to school to work on the trike.  What's more impressive is all the hours that we have put in together as a team.  A total of 136 hours this break.  Woah. If this isn't team commitment then I don't know what is.  And you would think that we as students would hate to give up our spring break.  To tell you the truth it was a tad disappointing.  However, as soon as we realized that we would be spending more time as a team, it was all worth it.  We all get along so well.  I mean we do have our ups and downs but in the end we all figure things out.  People on our team actually consider each other as family and I couldn't agree with them more.  Look at me just rambling right now.  I could talk all day if I could.  I was just going to do a quick update for our hours.  So yeah.  136 hours.  That's impressive if you ask me.

I loved documenting this entire experience of the Lynden InvenTeam. It was one crazy experience and I'm glad I had the opportunity to record each and almost every single one of our memorable moments!
