For rule one (There are three states of being. Not knowing, action and completion), we are currently in the state of action. Rule two (Accept that everything is a draft. It helps to get it done) applies, but  rule three (There is no editing stage) does not apply because we need to edit our survey and interview questions. Rule four (Pretending you know what you're doing is almost the same as knowing what you are doing, so just accept that you know what you're doing even if you don't and do it) applies and so does rule five (Banish procrastination. If you wait more than a week to get an idea done, abandon it). Rule six (The point of being done is not to finish but to get other things done.) does not apply and neither does rule seven (Once you're done you can throw it away). Rule eight (Laugh at perfection. It's boring and keeps you from being done.) applies and so does rule nine (People without dirty hands are wrong. Doing something makes you right), metaphorically speaking. Rules ten (Failure counts as done. So do mistakes), eleven (Destruction is a variant for done), and twelve do not apply (If you have an idea and publish it on the internet, that counts as a ghost of done). Rule thirteen applies (Done is the engine of more).

For part 1 (Define), our project has narrowed the audience to elementary and middle school students in Palo Alto and East Palo Alto. For part 2 (Research), we are currently scheduling to interview students in grades 1-8 from an elementary and middle school in both Palo Alto and East Palo Alto. For part 3 (Ideation), we currently plan to create a program or website our class of some sorts that will help the students in these schools. Our plans will narrow down after we finish conducting interviews. At this point in time, we do not yet have parts 4-7 (Prototype, Choose, Implement, Learn).
