Week #8 -The End Is Getting Real 🎯

The finish line isn't just in sight anymore we can feel it.

⚙️ Technology: The Small Things That Matter Most

This week was about the final micro-adjustments on the technical side and anyone who's been through this stage knows: the small details are often the hardest.

Getting everything to align perfectly technically and aesthetically takes patience. But when it clicks, it's deeply satisfying. The product looks better, feels better, and works better. All at once.

We're also adding the indicator light this week, the last piece of the hardware puzzle.

🎨 Looking Ahead: The Final Presentation

This week we received our brief for the final showcase and it made everything feel even more real.

We spent time looking at examples from previous years, drawing inspiration from how past teams presented their work the websites, the visuals, the photography. We took what resonated with us and started thinking about how to make it our own.

It's a reminder that the product is only part of the story. How you tell it matters too.

🧪 Experiments: 24 Hours

User testing continues this week with a full 24-hour experiment, putting the product through a real, extended day with a user. The longer the test, the more honest the data.

💡 Key Takeaways

• The final stage demands the most attention to detail and that's okay

• Looking at others' work isn't copying, it's calibrating

• Every piece is coming together technically, visually, and experientially
