We have considered many applications and thought of many required uses of our prototype. To develop several potential designs for our automatic plant watering system, we began with a structured design brainstorming session. Each team member contributed ideas without judgment, encouraging creativity and diverse thinking. We explored a range of concepts, from simple gravity-fed drip systems to more advanced sensor-controlled and app-integrated solutions.

We categorized ideas based on cost, complexity, user-friendliness, and functionality. Sketches, mind maps, and quick prototyping helped us visualize and compare concepts. Through discussion and group feedback, we refined our ideas and identified key features that should be incorporated in our final product — including soil moisture sensing, adaptability for different plant types, and ease of installation.

This process allowed us to generate multiple viable designs and select the most promising ones for further development and testing.
