 For the report, we divided the chapters and tasks among all team members. Everyone can contribute ideas and content to each chapter; however, one person is assigned as the main responsible member for each chapter.
+==== 4th Week Report ====
+Week 4 was a busy one, mostly focused on getting our branding and presentations together. In Marketing we presented our updated problem statement and elevator pitch and we have already started the groundwork for the case study presentation.
+In our teambuilding class we spent time reflecting on our team dynamic through some short essays. It’s clear that our bonding activities have paid off as some of us needed a timeout from the group to stay productive.
+We also had a presentation in Communication where we showed off our first logo and flyer draft. It didn’t go exactly as planned because we had just decided to change our project’s name. Presenting an outdates flyer definitely wasn't our best look but it was a good reality check on how fast things are moving.
+==== 5th Week Report ====
+In week 5, we focused on the project development chapter as well as on Jira. During this time, we planned in more detail which tasks need to be completed before the interim deadline in April. In addition, we created detailed schematics. However, we still need to continue working on how we want to implement all the electrical components. On the other hand, we also completed more detailed structural drawings. Based on these, we were able to decide on a more final shape for the capsule, as well as define the material layers and what should be included. Beside of that, we worked on a presentation about an ethical scandal, as well as a joint presentation summarizing all the work completed so far for the marketing and communication courses.
+==== 6 + 7th Week Report ====
+During the Easter break, we focused on preparing the interim presentation. We discussed which aspects are most important and how to present them effectively, given that we only have 10 minutes. In addition, we finalized the interim report and revised several sections. In particular, we completed the ethics, project management and design solution chapters. For the next steps, we identified the need to work on the software side by developing an app and outlining how the prototype will be built. Furthermore, we will need to define the functionalities in more detail and determine how they will be implemented in the app. Finally we also enjoyed the break :)

 By next week, we will begin writing the “Project Development” section and ensure that all references to tables are correct and consistent.

+Minute:
+The professors provided guidance on the interim presentation and report requirements:
+  - Interim Presentation: Max 10 minutes and 10 slides. All team members must speak for an equal amount of time. The focus should be on the "design journey."
+  - Report Formatting: Describe every image and table in the text before they appear. Remove all titles/captions from inside the images themselves.
+  - Terminology: Standardize all text to Bloem and ensure "Bloemshell" is completely removed.
+  - Glossary: Complete the list of acronyms and technical terms.
+Considerations for our product:
+  - Structure: Use heat to bend the wooden beams for the shell. Continue investigating screw-free Japanese joinery methods.
+  - Airflow: Use a quiet 12V fan (will require a voltage drop circuit). Consider regulated openings at the bottom for natural airflow, as high noise cancellation and high airflow are difficult to achieve together.
+  - Smart System: The microcontroller needs WiFi to sync the mobile app with the lighting and music.
+  - Audio: The speaker should be a standalone WiFi/Bluetooth unit connected to power.
+  - Power: LED strips

+=== Agenda: ===
+  - Interim Presentation
+=== Minute: ===
+This week, we had our interim presentation. We presented the topics we have already worked on. Some of the key focus points for the final presentation are clearly how we communicate our content.
+No reading directly from the slides, face the audience, and present calmly but with energy. At the beginning of the presentation, all group members should be introduced.
+We need larger headings on our slides. We might also rearrange the order so that project management comes at the end. Pedro will send his comments by email.
