After months of research, planning, and preparation, the team has begun development of a prototype. This prototype will be very simple: it will contain the finalized UI and incorporate simple weather API functions into the design. One of the main focuses for this first Sprint is to convey the weather radar information in a non-visual way.

This week, each team member created a very simple app with a button and a functionality associated with that button. We each presented to our coach during the meeting. The purpose of this was to have us start researching how to develop for React Native, and to promote us to continue to learn.

Our goals for the next week are clearly laid out. The group will meet so that components of Minor Report 2 can be assigned to each team member. This is to ensure that the report is completed in a timely manner and time can be spent on revising. The team will also meet to discuss final ideas for the UI. We are going to present drawings to the other members to get their input, and to see if our designs adhere to the design principles previously researched for accessible app design. Once we narrow down these ideas to just one, we will update our app to demonstrate the new UI, add a little placeholder functionality to each component, and present the app to our liaison and coach in the following meeting.
