Last week was our final week as vSpecialists in training. When we started this process, we barely knew each other, let alone how we were going to work together. A wise man said at the beginning of this that we would see each other in a different light by the time it was over. His words could not be truer. It all came down to one week of pure awesomeness that we call “Geek Week”.

Team 05 as we are called had a mission that began on Monday morning with the task of delivering a final presentation at the end of the week to a “customer”. We spent a total of 1400 hours between 23 team members designing, building, and customizing a solution that could be delivered to the customer within a weeks time. When you have 23 of your closest friends in a conference room together for 5 days without much sleep, needless to say, you build some awesome relationships with each other.

However, what it boils down to is this. Teamwork is what gets things done in a group. Sure, there are differences of opinion on how things should get done, but this group was phenomenal about getting different ideas worked out in order to get the results we needed. The bonds that we formed here as a team will be everlasting throughout our careers.

For our presentation, we rocked it out. We had a good response from the “Customer” and had an awesome time doing it. Jase McCarty did a good write up about the week in detail, which you can read here. At the end of our presentation, I put together some stats on what it took to fuel Geek Week and its pure awesomeness. Jase also posted it here. However, out of all the consumables, TEAMWORK is what got the job done. It resulted in this:

It was a super awesome time, and I will never forget #TEAM05!!! You guys rock!!
