Group 35 / UNDER THE POET'S TREE

23/05/25 | We've made it!

The finishing touches to the model had been made, and the construction manuals & kit of parts had been printed out ready to hand over to the Poetry Library. The students decided who would like to introduce the work they’d done to the members of the Poetry Library, those being Martin and Kaye, for an informal presentation.

The project all came full circle, we presented to the Library at the end of the two weeks, where they presented to us at the start. This felt like a really nice way to end both weeks of hard work. The presentation itself went really well; Kaye, who was not aware of the outputs was “enormously surprised by the final piece when it was presented in the library by the team. What you have produced is beyond my expectations”. Martin’s feedback was certainly encouraging, going on to say, “The outcome itself is an incredible piece of work, which could genuinely be adopted in the library”.

Looking back at the past two weeks, it was great to lead such an inquisitive and hard working group of undergraduates, those of which have created an excellent piece of work, and a commendable final product.

We ended things with a group lunch, courtesy of the budget we were yet to spend, which was a lovely way to send the project off. We spoke not only about the project, but their future aspirations, hoping to give them some useful guidance for the future!
