With the accomplishment of our Thinkquest task, the six members of the team have grown a lot.  After selecting six members from Frame of Mind, the St. Ignatius High School Web Design Club, the team began to tackle this event.  Our first task was to decide on the topic of our project.  After we went around, each person suggesting a topic, we went to the whole club for help.  Other topics that were suggested included bridges and towers, earthquakes, and medicine.  Ultimately, pirates was chosen because of the majority rules rule.  From there we set up important dates we had to meet and how to contact each other.  We used a forum to ensure that all the members understood what they had to do for that week before we meet at our weekly meetings.

While working on the project we realized that each member had his strengths and weaknesses.  By understanding the diversity of our team, we were able to use this to our advantage.  Certain members knew how to research more efficiently than others, others knew how to code and program better, and others knew how to ensure our site looked appealing.  Of course we had our little disputes here and there, but we overcame those arguments by making sure there weren't misunderstandings.  In the end, all the diversity and the problems that we encountered made the project a lot better than it would have been if we all just agreed without questioning.

The club that the team came from is called Frame of Mind.  It is the web design club of St. Ignatius High School.  In trying to support the mission of the school, the club attempts to help others by helping them with their website needs.  This club was founded on the purpose of facilitating and teach web programming and design skills.  The school provided us time in one of the computer labs to allow us to hold meetings and demonstrations.
