We made user journeys, empathy maps, … During this second week we also started to do some research for the state of the art.

This week we had classes and focused more on the project management; we made an initial backlog, sprint-plan, … We're still writing the State of The Art and are focusing on defining the scope of the project.

This week was also filled with classes. On thursday, we presented two ideas to the supervisors; adjustable school furniture and a flexible home desk.

This week was a bit shorter because of Easter holidays. We finalized our tech course classes and presented our final proposal; a flexible home desk. We'll continue by making some sketches and thinking about the features we want to include in our desk.
