Capstone step 1

Overview 

After we had recvived our funding for our idea, it was time to start planing out design and learning more about our customer base. The first thing we did was create 3 different blueprints of design ideas for our owl boxes. These designs allowed us to think about different details and naol down the dimmensions of our product. We also ended up with different ideas for our design thta we hadnt thought abut previously. We also spent time learning more about our wants and needs for our product and design. This included resources and differnet tools we want to utilize to finsih our project. We created a survey to better understand landuse in the surrouding area as well as presented about our market research. Finally, we have started to build our protype and have collected materials for our final build.

In the future we want to conitinue to parcel our time efficiently. We hope to purchase our acoustic recorder and start bio-monitoring at posible sites for our owl box.
