Another job done. iHOT unvailed its new website today. The big flash files of years past are gone. The theme this year: simple and functional. Team leader Afrooz Family says of the site, "It's been a lot of fun redoing. I feel like we've got a good looking, user-friendly interface, an overall crowd pleaser!" Afrooz meantions that there would be no site without the dedication of mentor, and AIS webmaster, Erica Endicott. Thanks also go out to Andy (i.e. the rest of the web team), as well as Adrien Pellerin and Matthew Keeter.

After winning the top prize at nationals last year, the animation team is anything but complacent! Sub team leader, Matthew Keeter announced today:"After a long work session this afternoon, I am proud to announce that the 2006 Animation has been completed! Special thanks is due to Jill Herron, Brian Edwards, and Declan Rabun, who helped immensely with the editing process. [...] We picked a challenging storyline this year, but the end result is good. I'll be uploading the animation and Peter's storyboard to Autodesk Streamline this weekend."
Best of luck to the animation team. Let's hope that their good work goes noticed.
