Element E
Through this element, we saw how important STEM principles are and will be going forward with our project. We used concepts from every area that enhanced our progress in creating our solution. With us laying out all of the team norms and responsibilities beforehand as well as setting the Gantt chart up as a schedule, we knew our roles and the timeline of the project. As a team, we made sure to continually keep each other on track and focused, contributing to our success.
Problem Statement
Many people don’t get the water they should, often because they are uneducated about how much they should drink or forget to drink. According to a survey sent to students and teachers at a school in 2022, about half of the people drink less than half a gallon. Additionally, research shows that 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated, and factors such as thirst, the temperature of water, the convenience of drinking it, and other psychological, behavioral, and environmental influences impact how much water people drink.
