Week 5 began with the usual check-in activities, which included writing a letter to our future selves and running through each team's advances and challenges. We also discussed what makes a good pitch as preparation for our final presentations next week! 

However, on Wednesday, our group was thrown a major curveball from Genera Territorios. Although our work had been approved by our contact persons within the charity, the founder reviewed our work and gave us a huge amount of feedback to implement within a very short space of time. This was a frustrating experience, as we had followed all instructions and believed we were almost completely finished with our deliverables. It also came very late into the project, despite the information having been available for almost two weeks. However, with the support of Keni and Aide (and the pastries they brought us as commiseration!), we got started on splitting up and tackling the new tasks. While Peter and Liam took care of the coding, Annie and I worked on the supporting documentation, including the Transfer Guide, the User Guide, the pitch presentation and the profile of the chatbot. As of Saturday, I'm happy to say that we are making very good progress and are on once again track to complete our project within the expected timeframe.

Although this week was definitely work-heavy, we also made time for activities around the city, including a very memorable boat ride in Xochimilco, a trip to Museo Soumaya in Polanco, visiting Chapultepec Castle and, as my personal favourite, going to see the Ballet Folklórico in the Palacio de Bellas Artes!
