This week, I contributed to our project by working on multiple aspects of both the presentation, refining our user flow, and coming up with possible solutions to address some of the technical concerns we had. For our proposal presentation, I helped design and structure the slides to ensure they effectively communicated our project’s goals, requirements, and challenges while also meeting the proposal guidelines. I carefully reviewed the content to make sure our ideas were presented clearly and concisely. Additionally, I worked on refining what to say on each slide, ensuring that every point was addressed logically and that our pitch was both compelling and easy to understand.
Beyond the presentation, I contributed to selecting and evaluating hardware components, researching various options that could meet our system requirements. My initial research focused on sensor accuracy, power efficiency, and feasibility within our design constraints. While I identified some promising options, I plan to take a deeper dive into these components in the coming days, assessing their tradeoffs and how they interact within the overall system rather than just as standalone parts. This will help ensure that our hardware choices align well with our system and performance goals.
Our progress is on track with the project schedule. By next week, I plan to have a comprehensive list of all necessary components, ensuring that each one meets our system requirements. I also plan to start thinking about how everything will come together for our design presentation, ensuring that we can effectively communicate our approach, technical decisions, and progress in a clear and structured manner. If given the time, I would like to outline the assembly of a barebones version of our project to test how all components interact once we are able to order them. This will help us identify potential integration challenges early on.
