Thank you!

Some things can't be captured by artifacts, papers, and websites — like our team dynamic and the fun we've had working together. The MHCI Class of 2020 had the pleasure of working together in-person for the first half of the year, and none of this fun and excitement has been lost while transitioning to remote courses, Zoom meetings, and endless Slack messages.

Working on Capstone this spring semester has been challenging, eye-opening, exciting, and most of all fulfilling. But beyond the work we've shared some laughs, some memes (a lot actually), and some photos of our lovely mascot — Kino the Kitty. This is only the beginning of our journey and this project, and we look forward to revealing our solution to the future of IRL music listening in August. Thank you for following our project, and we hope that you join us as we enter the Belly of the Beast and into the Summer semester.

Cheers!
