Final Report

The purpose of the final report is to document your project so that community partners and/or future students interested in your work can understand it, avoid repetition, and make further progress. As a team, write a 12-15 page report describing your project.

Initial Design Review

At this review, you’ll have 10 minutes to present your project, and then 15 minutes for discussion and questions. You should bring your working prototype and show it working.

Wiki Design Notebook

Each week, your team should update your team’s wiki page. If you do a great job documenting everything, it will make your final report much, MUCH easier to write.

The wiki should include key documents (project specs, etc.), an ever-changing schedule, photos from experiments, scans of best brainstormed ideas, etc. It should also contain a weekly report on your communications with your community partner (you should do everything in your power — regular emails and/or phone calls to stay in touch) so that they are up to date on your progress and can offer feedback.

Problem Set 0

Using the given LED (3.6V, 20mA) and 9V battery provided in class, a resistor of your choosing, and found materials, construct a lantern. The lantern should be able to turn on and off.
