 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. We also had a presentation in Communication where we showed off our first logo and flyer draft.

 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. In week 5, we focused on the project development chapter as well as on Jira.

 +==== 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 :)

 +==== 8th Week Report ====
 +This week, we focused on finalizing our interim presentation. We reviewed the feedback from the professors and discussed how to improve the structure, including which topics to present, the order in which to present them and how to organize the content on each slide. We also talked about presentation style and defined what each team member needs to prepare individually. In addition, we received feedback on our report and are currently reviewing it to implement the necessary adjustments. Most of these changes are relatively minor. We also met with Luis to go over our electrical schematics. During this session, we identified and corrected several errors and clarified how the electronic components should work together. At the same time, we started developing the 3D model of the capsule. We are currently working on the initial layers of the structure, but still need to go into more detail, particularly regarding elements such as the door mechanism.

- +  - 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."

 Considerations for our product: 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

 +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.
