Title: Home Automation, Smart Plant Watering System

Description: We aim to create an automated system that waters plants based on soil moisture levels.

Manufacturing Process: We’ll use electronic components for sensors and valves, along with basic woodworking for the frame.

Challenges: Integrating electronics with pluming effectively.

Potential Solutions: Prototype the design using cardboard first and refine the layout based on functionality.

Title: Eco-Friendly Reusable Bags

Description: Learning injection molding using single use recycled bags. The goal is to reduce single use plastic bags.

Manufacturing Process: We will use injection molding to create the bag handles and sewing for the main body.

Challenges: Sourcing enough recycled bags and ensuring bags are durable.

Potential Solution: Partner with a local recycling center and conduct material tests to find the best options.

Title: Wearable Tech, Fitness Tracker Bracelet

Description: We want to create a simple fitness tracker that monitors steps and heart rate.

Manufacturing Process: We’ll incorporate electronic components, sewing for the band, and possibly some 3D printing for the case.

Challenges: Ensuring accurate data collection and comfortable wear.

Potential Solutions: Research existing trackers for inspiration and conduct user tests for comfort.
