Daniel Theunissen

Learning goals:

• Cut Arduino IDE out of my life by switching to PlatformIO
• Learn how to interface with a display using a microcontroller
• Research and develop the electrical components of the modules
• Create good documentation, establish consistent design rules, and set up maintainable systems
• Hopefully work on modularity: I think hot swappable modules would be really cool

Charlie Mawn

Learning Goals:

• Expanding on my own knowledge of how to program arduino
• Learning how to use PlatformIO to write Arduino code without the terrible Arduino IDE
• Gain a better understand of how to integrate electrical and software components together
• Get a baseline understanding of how the mechanical components are designed to house the electronics

Alex Mineeva

Learning goals:

• Project management of a semester-long integrated engineering project
• Develop gameplay testing procedures to gather relevant data for human-centered product development
• Designing an aesthetically pleasing mechanical system that houses each game module + their related electrical components
• Fabricate the box™ using wood, metal, and fabric.

Joshua Espinoza Diaz

Learning goals:

• Explore different ways to develop a modular project that is reliable and can be expanded in the future.
• Practice creative problem solving skills by finding ways to simply complex systems into alternative modules with similar user experience.
• Develop a better understanding of circuit design for small modules.
• Develop good documentation habits for project development.
