During last week, to get better understanding in our device, we reached out to a student who worked with this device previous quarter. After discussing the main problem of the device, we came up with the conclusion that our priority is to reinforce the chamber. We brainstormed the ideas and posted our ideas in our group chat to discuss. Also, we have spoken with the sponsor to finish our budget form.
