This week was a busy yet successful time for Team 7! The theme of the week was individual concept generation. We wanted to focus our week on how we each thought the process and prototype should work and what components we thought were essential. So, this week was a time of brainstorming and concept generation so that next week, we can pitch our ideas and processes to each other and make a weighted matrix to help us decide on the best components for our prototype. We are excited to pitch our ideas to each other and see them come to fruition so soon!

We have also been working diligently on our two assignments due next week, the project roadmap and the Project First Month Report. These assignments have helped us project manage our design process well and they have given us perspective in terms of what is expected from us as a team and deadlines we must meet. We also appreciate that we can complete these assignments to help us understand our project and what is expected of us more in depth. We’ve learned about a variety of concepts in class and now we’re able to put them to use and showcase this all in our Project First Month Report.

We also met with our coach, Dr. Jackson, who provided us with a ton of tips, tricks, guidance, and feedback for the concept generation process. We are excited to continue the design process and have our ideas come to life!
