When we started this project, I was fortunate enought to be allowed to join an already existing group to help them complete their project. We knew we wanted to make a map but 'how' was the quesion. As reasearch gathering, we went out and surveyed new students, teachers, and parents about whether they had gotten lost at SAS before and what they think could improve navigation around SAS. Out of our collective data we were able to create four different potentia prototypes that could solve navigation at SAS: an app, a stationary map, a sign post, and an interactive mall map. For all of those we made simple prototypes out of card board and split into two groups to survey people, I made the sign post prototype. We surveyed 44 people, ranging from teachers and parents, to visitors and parents. All of them had either a neutral, or the majority, poitive reaction to our questions and different prototypes. The one that had the most votes was an app, but due to our limited time frame and limited coding capabilities, that building an app would take too much time and was not worth the cost. So we decided to make the next best idea within the reasonable time and cost frame: the stationary map. The map is built from a large 70x108cm sheet of clear tempered glass and a simple outlined map of all four levels of the High School. The glass we got so graciously from Mr. Bright. As an added feature, we installed push buttons that when pressed, light up the desired department on the map. To achieve this we needed to use four Arduinos and 24 buttons and lights (24 each). To build the stand which the glass will be placed on, we came together to design a stand made out of 12 card board boxes taped together. We measured it and determined the angle of elevation the glass will be placed on together as a team, as well as executing and putting together this product. The maps were designed from the blueprints of the High School building, but were simplified and had the lables removed to make it cleaner. 

"tell us your abilities through a story when you were working. What do you need to work on?" 

A couple of wees ago, we were faced with the challenge of how we were going to display the glass pane. We came together as a group to discuss our options on how we might support the glass and make it look good. We all had our own ideas, so we had to listen and incorporate everyone's ideas into the design. Mr. Bright gave us some valuable imput that later was incorporated into our final design with modifications. We determined as a team the degree of the slant of the glass and began cutting the boxes. We then started taping them together and cutting out holes for the cables. When someone was confused, the others were very helpful in explaining, even if it took five times to explain it, and helping them understand what the plan was. 

 These last days were very hectic. We needed to finish our final product as well as finish our buisness plan, I was always adamant that we needed to finish the product and worked while others were finishing their AT proposals. We split into different groups I was mainly working on building our product, while hayden focused on making the maps. AJ and I were both working on the stand by cutting, taping, coding, trying to get everything together. At around lunch we switches and those who were working on the business plan switched and worked on the building, and vice versa. We were all very productive during this project and were always working on what we needed to complete. I need to work on setting out priorities because I worked alot on the final product during school hours were I could have been working on the business plan, and perhaps being a little less assertive on the completion of the product (since most of my team didnt think we needed a completed product for our shark tank pitch). But this project was amazing, and I have never had such as good group project were everyone was active and productive.
