Our first steps in our capstone projects have been designing our product, our demand and wish lists, research reports, and so much more. We have been working to gain some more information on our customer base and the logistics of our product. Our group started brainstorming on padlet to help organize our ideas. The link to our padlet is here : https://padlet.com/nafarrington221/ally-katie-melissa-nathan-capstone-v4k1g6w9zlmwsjke . It includes topics we considered for our project, possible ideas and problems to solve, etc. It was helpful in creating a solid idea for us to start with and begin researching.
My group decided to focus on the problem of drought and water conservation. We chose this because where we live, we experience drought often and it can be hard to conserve water. Our goal is to make this problem easier, at home water consveration.
The problem we are trying to solve is inaccessible freshwater for populations in drought or water need. We want to make an affordable at-home solution for those who need it.
We created many different types and designs for our product. Helping us be able to choose the best option to start tinkering with.
