Discussed
1
Confirmation of design
·       Water sensor is workable
·       Confirmed that the design is suitable and to proceed on with building the prototype
2
Method of Construction for Prototype
·       Decided that we try out with our own cheap and available materials
·       Art teacher has also agreed to lend us some pieces of wood to work on the prototype
·       Choose only wood which are water proof
3
Materials to use for the prototype
·       Trial: wood and metal sieve, nails and hammer, saw and tools to cut rings
·       Actual: Plastic if we are capable of doing so
4.
Time to construct Product
·       Haoyu will help to work on the prototype first since he has many wooden planks in his house

 We feel that we are making quick progress. But we decided not to slow down our pace as any problems could crop out after we have completed our prototype. Semi-finals is two months away. We will be meeting up with each other often to discuss on the prototype and to check on its construction progress. However, we are also constantly thinking of new and better ideas to improve our invention. In the mean time, we are still pondering what materials are required for different components of the prototype and how can we ensure that the drawer is easy to use and how we can prevent future problems from appearing once we have our prototype.
