Yoopergames Entrepreneurial Checkpoint #2

As we dive into our second full Sprint with the YooperSticks team, the progress has been significant, and we are eager to continue our growth. Although it's been an enjoyable time, we've encountered some unexpected challenges that have disrupted our plans.

At the beginning of this sprint, we set goals for the two weeks to enhance our social media presence, prototype our new rivalry sets, and work towards a more professional image for our game. A special shoutout goes to Ethan Jankowski for his dedication to developing our new website on Square Space after our previous platform was shut down.

Regarding our social media objectives, we've gained over 100 followers on Instagram and amassed over 2,000 views. We're thrilled to unveil our new Rivalry Sets featuring sports team color schemes as opposed to the traditional YooperSticks colors. Wylie Mease played a pivotal role by mastering Tinkercad to provide visual models for future designs inspired by the Bears, University of Illinois, Chicago White Sox, and Michigan-themed colorways. Additionally, our team placed a substantial order for supplies to create 9 sets, ensuring we have inventory ready for sale.

On a personal note, my contributions during this sprint have significantly impacted YooperGames. I registered our business in the Blue Ocean Student Entrepreneurship Competition and refined our business plan, which includes a new concept of wood-burning numbers on future sets and preparing for upcoming sales once RivalSticks launches. I've also invested time in improving my public speaking skills and coordinating our team's schedule to construct the remaining sets, which we anticipate will take 7-8 hours. Finally, I devoted effort to our Sprint 1 & 2 share back, ensuring that our 5-minute presentation captured each step of our journey.
