Our process took an astonishing eight weeks. The first thing we did was compare different things that we enjoyed, and the one that really stuck out to us was sports. We then had to brainstorm on how we could relate sports to accessibility. We then researched a little and found that many families around the world have recently been struggling to afford sports equipment and in the last  year, the amount of money that people spend on sports equipment doubled according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Our team then  found that the average amount of money that families have to spend on sports is over one thousand dollars annually and for some families that is a lot. To show this we take the average person's income in California which is around 60,000 and do the math and find out that almost 2% of the money that a person makes is being spent on sports annually. 

Then, we got the idea of taking old sports equipment and giving it to people who couldn't afford buying all the equipment for sports but really enjoyed playing them. We then researched on the problem we were trying to solve and found that a bunch of families can't afford sports equipment. We then had find a client. We interviewed a couple people and found the perfect person to be our client. She experiences the problem everyday in her life because she has two sons who play and variety of sports and so she has buy equipment for them very often. We then teamed up and brainstormed and idea that would help her deal with the problem she dealt with. We then got feedback from a couple of people and reviewed to our idea to make sure there was no problems. We then got started making our website. 


 

Next, we presented our product at the community forum and got a lot of good advice and feedback. People mostly asked us how we made sure this website was safe and how we even got the equipment. We answered all of their questions and asked them if they wanted to shoot a basketball shot that we would donate to a charity. 

After we finished with our website, we went to our client to have her review our website. She checked it and made some new changes such as makinging it more safe. Then we went around and pitched people our product and asked for feedback and a review. Then, we took the feedback from the people we interviewed and fixed everything they told us we needed to fix.
