Theme of the Conference ：The first formal meeting to learn from Asad about the relationship between data and Place and how we should go about applying that data, in addition to watching some videos made from the data we got from the radar scans, which helped us to get a better understanding of the topic of the class, and after the class we each came up with our own ideas for the project we were going to work on.

Theme of the Conference：We didn’t get to borrow radar equipment as our school wasn’t able to train us this week, but we still did some scanning via our mobile phone apps.
In addition, we have come up with some ideas for this assignment, the exact details of which can be found in the Blog.

Theme of the Conference：For this meeting we consulted Asad and we planned and summarised our previous ideas in detail, in addition we considered the feasibility of the individual plans.
As none of us are familiar with the effects of radar scanning, at Asad’s suggestion we will start by picking a few locations around the school to scan and see how it works. After having a detailed understanding of the radar we will proceed to the next step.
