This picture shows how I break down the system.  It all starts with the founders, and the thinkers and doers of the program, i.e. David Goldberg.  Then their idea of iFoundry comes to life and but it requires funding.  That is where UIUC and other private donations come in to play to help it move along.  This then leads to iEFX, which is where most of everything comes into play.  It is then broken into the tow main parts, of ENG198 and the iCommunity.  ENG198 is then broken down into the two components of of the lab and discussion.  The lab allows real world skills like working across multiple disciplines to get things done and working in a team to achieve a goal while the discussion section allows us to learn the missing basics.  On the other side iCommunity is broken into the iHouse and the iTeams.  The iTeams then break into the projects and the iSA, which are students which is also where the ENG198 side also ends.  Then they give the feedback to the head people and they improve on it and it creates a cycle.

As far as gaining from doing this it allowed me to see exactly how much work is being put in to this program. It also helped me understand how i think about this experience and also helped me learn how to do this kind of chrat to better understand the systems that i use and am apart of.  The most interesting part is realizing how many adults are involved in this and how it all comes together.  It was a very interesting thing to do.
