part a summary
The purpose of Part A was to figure out what problem we wanted our capstone project to solve. At first, Laila and I were thinking of solutions to problems, instead of brainstorming the problems themselves. That was rather difficult because we worried too much about time and materials, which we didn't need to do yet. Once we started thinking in terms of problems, it was much easier to brainstorm. We ultimately decided that the problem we hoped to create a solution to was sexual assault. It is a problem that we are both passionate about, which is good considering that we will work on this project for 4 months. This problem is also very relevant in society today, especially with celebrity sexual assaults that have recently come to light and the the newfound visibility of the problem through #METOO campaigns on twitter. Our research and market survey also justify this problem.
