Describe your project in few words. Don’t forget to include a link to a website or github repository if you have one.

3. Project Context. 

Briefly explain the story behind your project and why it matters to you. As well as an important problem or challenge your project is facing within its context. If it is financing, please describe what it is you think you need financing for and how it would be used to towards your project’s ability to work better or more efficiently. We do not offer funding, however if your project is selected into the LOTE program it will recieve in kind support from skilled participants. 

4. Current understanding. 

Explain what you know about the problem your project is trying to solve, its effect, what you found, your assumptions, your previous ideas (discarded or best) in a matter of research, experiments and/or observations.
