- Set up a boilerplate React Application
- Finalize wireframe diagrams for Homepage
- Finalize wireframe diagrams for Lessons
- Finalize wireframe diagrams for Quiz
- Begin wireframe diagrams for Interactive Visuals
- Research which provider / Architecture we decide for our database + server
- Continue Research and Setup Spring Framework

### This Week’s Team Progress & Issues
<!-- what you did, what worked, what you learned, where you had trouble, and where you are stuck. -->
- [x] Set up a boilerplate React Application
- [x] Finalize wireframe diagrams for Homepage
- [x] Finalize wireframe diagrams for Lessons
- [x] Finalize wireframe diagrams for Quiz
- [x] Researched and came to a decision to build the backend 
server using Java Spring and PostgreSQL
- [ ] Made some progress outlining the implementation of the 
interactive visuals, but still need to create a wireframe
and decide how it will be broken down into components / rendered
- [ ] Made progress with research but still need to decide 
on a hosting service for our database and server
- [ ] Researched and decided on Java Setup Spring Framework 
but still need to setup the code and any dependencies

### Next Week's Team Goals
<!-- outline your plans and goals for the following week.

For the team report, this subsection should be higher-level and indicate who is responsible for what tasks. Also, it’s good to include longer-term goals in this list as well, to keep the bigger picture in mind and plan beyond just the next week. -->
* Code the wireframed areas of the site (Homepage, quiz,
lesson etc)
* Finish wireframe for Interactive Visualizer
* Finish research on how to implement Visualizer
* Write unit tests for components and look into CI for React
* Add Spring code / Documentation to repository
* Research on Heroku host provider
* Get started with Spring implementation
* Research on visual tools
