Saturday: Morning & Afternoon
We brainstormed, played design games, and tried to hone in first on a Need and then moving to more specific design goals. We had so many ideas on so many topics and so many solutions I think we were all going a little mad this morning!
Our continued efforts with a lot of help from Syuzi Pakchyan, Magdalena Paluch, and the other coaches finally led us to a project we were all excited about: Compass H2.O
Compass H2.O
• A wrist worn compass that senses your hydration level and leads you to water.
• A crowdsourced database of potable water sources.
• A propopulated device for areas with no cell or wifi signals.
• An open source platform for myriad personal and social compass apps in the future.

Thanks for the WearableTechLA schedule Sharon! So the 3 teams have 5 minutes each, or maybe more like 4 minutes to get their whole pitch out!
Yes, awesome job Susan!! 🙂

Syuzi said they might just provide a location for each team to display the product with a poster with introduction. We may not need to present.
Let’s wait for her email for the final confirmation.

I think we definitely need to meet up at least once before July 17. We can set up a meeting and talk about the feedback we got. I’m free anytime after Wednesday, but my finals are coming soon. I understand Susan and Vivia might have hard time to meet up, but we will try our best.

Oh, Allia / Ekin won’t present? That’s a shame. We didn’t hear anything from Courtney / MDP this week. But next week I hope they’ll give us some info on WTLA. As Sharon said above, it might be more of a “Poster Session” than “Presentation.”
The judges feedback is kind of funny – they liked the quality of our build, but didn’t like it on the wrist, and didn’t like the water finding use case as much as wayfinding. So they sort of said, “we love your work, now throw it away and start over”! 😛
The answer to the 1st 1/2 of that, off the wrist might be that we aren’t going to have time to develop that before the 17th, even if we wanted to?
The use case though is mostly presentation rather than engineering to do now, so we could develop that if we wanted to.
For meeting F2F, Mon-Wed-Fri are a little better for me, but my schedule is flexible ATM, so I can probably work out any day that works for others. I’m happy going up to Art Center, or wherever we like. You’re all welcome at my place in Rosemead, too.
We probably can’t get all 8 of us together, but as many of us as want to / are able to, would be great. And we can also discuss here on the website, or we could do a Google Video Hangout.
Thanks Joseph!
