Week 16 (2 & 3 March 2024) :: DiscoverSTEM Sessions

AI-ML & Autonomous Tech :: Team Raj Reddy

Innovation:

Team Raj Reddy, solving “Debris clogging gutters,” followed through with feedback concerning their innovation(s) from the previous two sessions. They adjusted their concepts accordingly through Team-Idea-Mapping, a method in which the innovators branch off of their ideas to effectively create a map of their workflow. In this case, they worked to balance the improvements they were advised to make, and have since been instructed to further develop two specific solutions following review from Mr. Ahamed. The team is ever-so-close to nearing
final-innovation status, and is to continue through with a research lab module next week.

Research Assignment:

The team must refine Idea One according to the two notes provided and fix up Idea Two’s specifications.
