Jason’s Status Report for 2/8/2025

This week I mainly spent time on researching our project in order to build up our proposal slides for our proposal presentation. Given I was the team member presenting this week, I wanted to be sure I was adequately prepared not only with research literature for what I would be speaking about during the proposal presentation but also that I was familiar with our presentation slides and could be a informative presenter. Thanks to Jamshed and Meadow I was able to practice the presentation several times which allowed for a smooth transition into when I had to do the real proposal presentation in front of the class. This took a lot of time and effort in order to polish the presentation after conducting the research behind it but I was satisfied with how it went. Our main deliverable is our project proposal slides which I would show here but have already been attached as media on the website and as a page on the website too. Lastly I think that we are right on track of our schedule at the moment.

 

After the presentation had concluded on Wednesday, I spent some time researching the hardware components we would need to achieve our rough MVP which we decided on this week as a group. I plan on continuing this research into the next week and finalizing it with a list of purchases needed to get the ball rolling with the project.

Jamshed’s Status Report for 2/8/2025

Worked on designing presentation and prepping Jason early week. Spent ample time researching software stack and evaluating tradeoffs for different implementations. Setup github page for application. Began to set up development environment and refreshed my skills with Django and React.

Progress is going according to schedule. Design iteration is still ongoing as I decide which software stack is feasible and/or applicable to our application.

Next week, I will have a more finalized iteration of the software design. I also will collaborate with Jason and Meadow on the overall design and complete and rehearse our design presentation slides.
