Our team consists of 3 members: Ishani Ashok, Reyna Rajkumar, and Divya Machineni. Despite our differences, our team got through this journey together and came out better than before. Our team was formed during mid-September of 2018.  

     Each one of us started actively brainstorming problems in everyday lives and whether we can create a solution. All three of us recognized many issues with learning methods students use. Although we were already aware of this issue, we never directly addressed it; until we came together. All of us decided that we need to fix this outrageous problem. Ishani utilized the use of her marketing experience to create a solid business plan. Reyna formed and finalized our idea for Scintilla. In addition, she built the prototype which we will use for the base of our product. Divya researched topics in virtual reality and found a virtual reality professional to help lead us through this project. 

     While converting our vision into a tangible idea, we had to overcome many hurdles. There are many choices of what to put into the virtual reality lesson. With so many options, we were unsure of which to choose. In the end, we chose the digital lesson, as it is the most unambiguous. In addition, our team got invited to spend a week in London, presenting our product to over 800 different companies at the LearnIt World Conference. We are extremely grateful for this opportunity, and we have great plans for Scintilla in the future.
