    • What can you show by Thursday?

Agenda

The main objectives for today are identifying the feasibility of the immediate proof-of-concept plan and identifying high-priority purchases.

Asking for a BOM is creative: it interrogates your idea on an immediate physical level.

Asking for a BOM is practical: it exposes immediate material needs and potentially expedites purchasing.

Today is devoted to meeting with each individual group. Please be ready to answer the following:

  1. How has your idea evolved?

  2. What is your current sketch?

  3. What is your suitcase?

  4. What is your immediate plan for a proof-of-concept test? This should be a specific physical, demonstrable, documentable prototype.

  5. What are the high priority items on your BOM?
