The Heroes team provided tutorials in website design during the morning to two <br />groups, Intermediate and advanced. Students ranged from age 10 to 17. In the afternoon, <br />students formed into teams and designed a website for the future Children’s Room. Prizes were <br />awarded in several categories for technical skill, creativity, and appearance. According to team <br />mentor Wei Ding, the event was a great success, and the Heroes team did a superb teaching job. <br /> <br />Report and Recommendations on use of Freedom’s Way Tour Guide App <br />Glen reported that he and Avram had talked with a staff member at Freedom’s Way and studied <br />their website offerings for relevance to our committee. By way of background, the Freedoms <br />Way website includes a display of historical sites nominated by each town within the Freedoms <br />Way district. To nominate a historical site, each Town provides specific data fields of <br />information very similar to the database the M&M Committee is creating for M&M <br />information. While the Freedoms Way display could function as a public-facing method to share <br />the M&M Committee's database, Glen and Avram concluded that this would require layers of <br />coordination with the Freedoms Way entity that is not controlled by the Town of Lexington. On <br />this basis, they do not recommend its use by the M&M Committee. <br /> <br />After discussion, the committee agreed not to pursue this area of inquiry. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
