On Thursday, January 5th, the class was divided into groups to work on projects. The author's group was assigned to create a product that encourages people to drink more water and socialize. Each group presented their initial concepts, most related to preventing flooding. In the afternoon, the author's group visited booths at an expo to learn about different companies' products and design choices. Their assignment is to discuss next week whether they can design a product that meets the goals of their brief.
