Easter Holidays -- 12nd April - 25th April

Another session in Madrid finished with new challenges to face. Holidays had arrived, and we went out of our city, so contact was more difficult. Additionaly, there was no way of getting in contact with our american partners, as they didn't answer to our emails.
However, the Spanish members of Echo team finally started working on the project. This holidays ended up very productive as the roots of the project were strongly settled.
Personally, I was in charge of creating a wiki in which any member can easily add information and work there. That work could be then checked by everyone and then put in our official website.
Apart from that, I also wrote the introduction of our project, a definitory text putting in common all the ideas we had been sharing.

Third Week 5th April - 11st April

          A new session took place, and this time it took longer than usual as it was going to be the only "physical" meeting for two weeks, as the Easter holidays were approching. We finally organised the groups and arraged these individual, group and general blogs to report our progresses.
          During the meeting, we finally chose a topic for our project, and discussed it among the members of each team, with the aid of our instructor. We also recieved our american parteners' emails and we recently achieved to talked to them.
           Although we already have a general idea of our project, we are going to do a meeting with our american partners as soon as possible to discuss deeply about it so that the project starts taking shape at last :) .

Second Week 29th March - 4th April

          We met together again and we started telling our ideas one by one. In group, we all discussed the different ideas, saying the pros and the cons, with our instructor giving us feedback too. After this share of thoughts, we learnt about spectographs, the different types of radiation and light absorption and emission.
 (Note: These happened to be really important during the next weeks, as it is the roots of what our project would be about).
          In the end of the session he showed us different sensors we could worked with, and even a meteorite from outer space!
I kept looking in the internet for articles and information to know more about this and therefore have a more solid knowledge basement when the project started.
          On Thursday I recieved a great notice. I had been put in the Echo Team! Now we could start working in groups :).
