Step 2 for our Capstone project was largely focused on researching and thinking about the minute details of our design. This entailed creating classification schemes as well as continue protoyping. During this period we felt that we further cemented our idea of our design and we feel confident that our design is above the certain goals and parameters we set earlier. Also during this period we continued to test and refine our protoype and collect data. We hope to confirm the presence of Western-Screech owls in our study area soon. We also made a poster and a self-expalining presenation that was at our open house night. Fiannly, we worked with softwares like onShape and Autodesk to learn more about 3D printing and design. Below is all the materials and documents we used and created duting step 2.
During this period I felt that our group was very productive and acheived good progress. I am happy that we have both our acoustic and photographic data collecting deices in use. We hope to get more data out of them in the coming weeks. one thing that I wish our group did better was to spend more time working on our protoype. it was difficult to find time with all of the other assignments like classification schemes and presention preparation. We alos hope to start on ou prototype#2 for our box design and mayb buy some more wood.
