This week we had our general rehearsal for the final presentation on the 22nd.

For the first time, the product really felt ready. Everything worked as it should, which allowed us to demonstrate Ripple properly and explain both how it works and the value behind it.

Throughout the event, people stopped by our booth, asked questions, and showed genuine interest. We explained Ripple’s main goal: helping teachers create new social connections naturally through shared interests and interactive experiences.

Beyond being a really fun day, it was also incredibly motivating. It pushed us to keep improving, refining, and researching so we can arrive at the final presentation with better answers and a deeper understanding of our product. The conversations we had gave us a lot of new perspectives and raised questions we had never considered before.

One comment that particularly stood out was from someone who told us:

“Stop thinking only about middle-school students. I think this could work at conferences, with university students, or even in events like this one. It could help people connect at the beginning of a conference.”

It was exciting because it highlighted a potential use case we had never thought about before.

We also received a wide range of feedback- positive and negative, about both the usability of the product and the value it provides. Every comment gave us something new to think about and helped us better understand where Ripple is already strong and where it can still improve.

One thing almost everyone agreed on, though, was that the product looks amazing-and honestly, we agree.

Now we’re just one step away from the final presentations. These are our last opportunities to polish the product and make sure it delivers real value to the people who use it.
