This week marked an exciting milestone for Team 14, our first in-person meeting with our liaison<\/strong>, centered around the Preliminary Design Review (PDR)<\/strong>. Meeting face-to-face gave us the chance to connect beyond screens, discuss our evolving design ideas in depth, and receive focused feedback from our sponsor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our team with liaison during our first in-person PDR meeting – a milestone moment that energized our collaboration and brought our design discussions to life.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exploring Paths to Data and Design<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the days leading up to the PDR, the team brainstormed multiple ways to acquire and enrich datasets<\/strong> relevant to lighting lifetime and energy optimization. We also evaluated several web frameworks<\/strong> – including Flask, Django, React, and Streamlit – to determine which best aligns with our project\u2019s end goal. After comparing performance, visualization capabilities, and deployment flexibility, we finalized Streamlit<\/strong> for its simplicity, scalability, and effective data-driven visualization support in order to build the interface in order to explain how the end project looks like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Milestone Discussion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Each team member presented their area of progress, turning the PDR into a collaborative exchange of technical ideas and practical insights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
