Home Depot/True Value Next Week?

All groups let me know if you need 1-3 members to go to Home Depot or any other hardware store to examine the materials you may use during next week's lab period. I felt that it was very helpful for the Calming Room group. Please let me know ASAP so I can reserve a van and try to avoid any further van reservation complications and see if it is okay with Professor Vivanco. If you need to go, comment what group you are a part of, who will be going, your purpose of going/your plan of what to analyze and examine, where you need to visit, and estimation of needed time.

Project 1: Design Low-Cost Calming Space (Revised Problem Statement)

Problem Statement: Our project focuses on Juelz, a student with autism at Lowell Elementary School. The problem is that Juelz often becomes over stimulated and cannot focus. Due to this issue, the school has asked our team to design and fabricate a safe, calming enclosure. Our group plans to construct a house-like structure that is easy to assemble and disassemble. The structure will provide a comfortable environment tailored to Juelz’s specific needs within our budget of $200.

MONEY

Important reminder! Each group has $200 to work with. We thought it was $100 at the beginning of the course but have been informed that there is $200 per group.
