Reflections

This project brought three team members with different backgrounds and various IoT skill levels to work on designing an IoT product. We were motivated to work on something that has the potential to be scaled, but most importantly could help the student community around us. This project has been a roller-coaster ride with its ups and downs, many attempts (and failures), but it has led us to better understand our own skills, time management (while being mindful of constraints). Initially, all of us tried to do everything, but towards the end, the division of roles and responsibilities made the process more efficient, which meant that although we were exposed to different parts of the process, there was an understanding that our respective parts would be consistent and culminate to result in our end product/vision. 

Post-Demo Reflections

Despite having some Argon trouble (thank you Particle for releasing an update), we felt positive about demo-ing our product. The three of us are proud that we tackled a different aspect of social interactions, particularly one that we would love to see come to life on campus. During one of our demos, our neopixels went slightly rogue but quickly reset back to normal functionality after (we finished the demo by showing our video). We received positive feedback regarding the product and discussed various implications/things to think about if this product goes beyond pilot phase.
