Reflections

Through this project, we have practiced working in small teams as well as part of a larger group on a project following a very tight schedule. the challenge is to align our goals for the whole group, delegate tasks efficiently and communicate effectively across small teams. There were minor miscommunications during the process but we managed to move on and deliver a satisfying result in the end.

Some critics we have received during the demo day are thought-provoking. One of the concerns is our IoT system might contribute to alienating kids from their parents. While the intention behind a tech product could be good, we should always consider what side effects it might bring and be careful with that. For the next step, we are considering adding a feature to the system to create to a scenario that the parent-child relationship could be strengthened during their time spending together with our product.
