Saline Sync is officially IPPD Lab trained! Due to the hurricane causing school-related events to be rescheduled, the team had to split into 2 groups to find common meeting times to get lab trained. With this lab training, the team can now start building and testing concept ideas and prototype within the laboratory space. The lab space also includes monitors for the team to practice presentations on a larger screen, and a 3D printer for teams to print parts and prototypes.

The team also got to learn how to generate ideas using the brain walking method in class! Dr. Elif Akçalı taught the class how to generate creative ideas at a quick pace by adding all ideas that come to mind without worry of being ridiculed for any single idea. Through the brain walking activity, the team came up with more ideas as to how the project will look and how different components will be built to fit with one another. With this idea generation technique, the team will be able to formulate more ideas and ways to expand each idea out more quickly and effectively.
