Final Product Brainstorming

This week in ISM, we started talking about possible Final Product ideas and discussed products that had been done in the past. Even though it seems that Final Presentation Night is really far away, I know that things are going to start moving crazy fast from now until that date, so I'm trying to stay ahead of the due date calendar. First, we got into small groups and took turns sharing any ideas we had for our own product, and I realized that everyone else was struggling just as much as I was with coming up with a unique and cohesive product idea. Currently, I have several smaller ideas, but I still haven't been able to think of a way to combine them all together or encompass everything I've learned so far. Through my study of prosthetics this year, I'm most interested by the different suspension systems used to attach lower limb prosthetics to the user, because they each have their own pros and cons. Because I also had a mentor visit this week, my mentor and I talked through some of these ideas, but we haven't settled on anything definitive just yet. I'm hoping that my Original Work report will serve as a source of inspiration and give me an issue or pattern that I can then solve or represent in a final product. This upcoming week, I will continue working on my Original Work report, write another Evidence of Learning, and test out more ideas for a final product.
