Overview
This marks the half-way mark of our project. This step revolved mainly around the analysis of the strength of our product, based off our research and experimentation.

Midpoint Progress Presentation
This is our Midpoint Progress Presentation. This basically gives a recap of all the research and designing we have done since starting this project. This was a great way to show our mentors and advisors the fruits of our labor so far. We also gave some insight into what direction we would take in order to finalize the project.
Design Defense
This is our design defense. This presentation gives an analysis of the strengths of our research and design of our product. It also shows the experiments and testing we conducted that led to manufacturing of our prototype. Below is our presentation and video explaining our presentation.

Final Thoughts
After the difficult previous design step, we did our best to catch up and stay on track, and we managed fairly well. It was interesting to look back and see how far we've come, but we know that we still have a lot of work ahead of us. These presentations also gave very valuable insight into what we need to work towards next. Going forward, we will need to construct a prototype, using the things we learned through our analysis. After, we will need to run experiments on the prototype, and make and needed improvements. We also need to begin gathering all material and research needed for our final design report, as well as create a presentation and marketing material.
