​
March 18th, 2019
-
Discussed ideas and decided to pursue the water dispenser
-
Proposed ideas for the mechanics of the straw
​
March 20th, 2019
-
Created the low fidelity prototype for the first feedback session
​
March 21st, 2019
-
Evaluated all concepts in depth using go, no-go screening and a decision matrix
-
Used results from the screening and design matrix, as well as subjective opinions, to decide that the water dispenser was the optimal idea to pursue
​
DS: March 23, 2019
-
Proposed the idea of a semicircular straw mechanism that would sit behind the client’s backrest and swivel out of a track to sit in front of their mouth in a preliminary design review
​
March 27th, 2019
-
Created a revised prototype based on the feedback from the first design review

Discussed logistics of the high fidelity prototype and steps to take moving forward
​
DS: March 29, 2019
-
Proposed the idea of a ¼-circle straw mechanism that would sit behind the client’s headrest and rotate over their head to sit in front of their mouth in a second design review
​
March 31st, 2019
-
Decided that a moving straw may not be the best potential solution
-
Discussed ideas for a robotic lever system that will lift a cup to the user’s face instead of a straw and separate water supply
