Our Team

For the project, we have organised ourselves into groups of 4 people to work together to deliver a web application that can demonstrate our skills with coding and access information from Trove. 

Following from the previous posts activities we were asked to choose an area that would interest us, whether it is was educational, puzzles, games or utilities. From there we formed groups based on what we thought would be a good project to work on. 

Our team came together as we all thought working on a maze would be a great project idea. Our group consists of Yifei Chen, Harrison Lucas, Blake Bodycote and myself. 

Next was our first decision as a team, what our name was going to be. The tutors asked for us to use a name selected from Greek Mythology, whether it was a god, monster or hero. As we were doing a maze I thought it was appropriate to base our name of a myth involving one.

From Ancient-Greece.org
"The sacrifices of the Athenians ended only when Theseus, son of Aegean ruler of Attica, traveled to Crete as part of the youths to be sacrificed, but once in the labyrinth he killed the Minotaur and managed to find his way out of the labyrinth with the aid of Ariadne, the daughter of Minos."
We have chosen Theseus to identify ourselves and this project will be our metaphorical Minotuar.
