Problems Are Opportunities

A good clip for any of our classes but especially noteworthy for AP CS and Engineering Projects. The core competency of big contractors are to win and maintain government contracts. Here, a small team demonstrates that with their low overhead, they can afford to take a shot at solving a national problem and come up with what sounds like a very positive result. When you're small and agile you can afford to make mistakes and quickly iterate on them (fail early, fail often). The video does show some code for a split second. What software did they seem to be using (I think you'll recognize it). Where these people "experts" on the topic or did they just dive in and solve the issues as they came up? Lots to think about how you want to approach your future careers/professions/vocations/callings...
