This week, our team spent most of Sunday preparing for the proposal presentation, a link to the slides created can be found in the proposal section of this website. Slide drafting was done by Felipe, while Italia and Delaynie to keep the slides from being too text heavy as we wanted to make sure our presentation was engaging for an audience of college students at 10am.
Fortunately our presentation went well and we were able to properly explain our use case and reason that our product is viable when compared to a standard cell phone. We did receive questions regarding the structure of our device and the companion app, so future presentations will likely seek to better explain our solution approach now that a solid use case has been established. While at the time of writing this we have not received feedback from the peer review forms, we do plan on spending some time this week reviewing that in preparation of the design review presentation.
Post proposal presentation, as per our Gantt Chart we focused on part research in preparation for the release of the purchase form. Unfortunately, due to other commitments in the team we were unable to collectively agree on parts to purchase before tonight, each member has given assurances that by Monday all members will have recommendations allowing for early purchase of initial materials to ensure that should issues arise we will have time to make a second order.
Currently no changes need to made to the initial design, but we are preparing backups should something occur during the ordering process.
