As our last step to our capstone project we used all the material we could in order to best display our ideas to what we hoped to eventually have with better resources and more time for our project. The materials we used to best describe our project included the slideshow we created, a trifold poster, our design defense document, and an example blood pressure monitor.
Our poster includes information such as the basic design and prototypes of our project with 3D prints, how it works, cost analysis, alternative designs, and our design report. It also contained an explanation of how our design would function, and what we did to test our model, as well as future plans.
Our prototype was not at all what we planned for but with the time given it was the closest form we could make. This model was more of a proof of concept than anything else.

Reflection:
Overall I would say from what we originally planned to accomplish to what we did accomplish the project was a huge success. Having worked on this project all year there were notable accomplishment and failures. My group and I did not think we would get nearly as far as we did. Our end goal was wildly out of reach and our group was aware of that from the start, and did everything we could, and it paid off. The STEM presentation night really is why it paid off, everyone seemed to love our idea and others told us we should be on shark tank. A few accomplishments I had myself are also doing the task given to me and I thought I did most of the little necessary steps to help contribute to the project. Although we had all year to work on our projects my group still faces many obstacles. Firstly, we were not organized at all which make absent team members fall behind because we would often have to reexplain everything. A second failure of mine is not taking as big of a leadership role. One of my teammates definitely led our team to success but I wish I took a more leadership role rather than being told what to do.
Our ending result may not have been successful but we learned so many lessons after this project. The biggest take away I had from this project is to never give up. We kept pursuing our project not knowing what the outcome would be and thankfully enough we ended up way farther along in the process than we ever had thought we would. Overall I really enjoyed this project and it forced me to get a lot closer with both of my group members, Although our ending product wasn't what we planned on our final protoype to be it still showed the basic foundation to what were are shooting for with our smart blood pressure monitor.
