Interactive Hydration Coaster
Interaction Design
Problem: People forget to drink water throughout the day
Solution: create a coaster that will remind somone through calm technology to drink water
* Used a small scale to weigh the amount of liquid in the cup
* If the weight remains the same then the user has not drank from their cup
* There are three colors (green, blue, and red) that will light up to signify the user that it is time to drink water
* LED lights, Arduino, 3d Printer, small scale

Music Playing Jewelery box
Interactive Art
* Laser cut wood pieces to fit into one another perfectly through finger joints
* Used LED lights and potentiometer for the user to dim and brighten lights as they please
* Used Tilt Sensor to sense when someone opened the lid of the Jewelery Box
* Once the Tilt sensor is acitivated classical music will play from a DF player
* LED lights, DF Player, Arduino, Tilt Sensor, Laser Cutter, 3D Printer

Restaurant Tracking App
Software Engineering
* Problem: People want to be able to find places to eat while out and about
* Solution: Users will be able to check from an app where they can find restaurants that fit their wants
* Android app that can locate restaurants
* The app filters out a cuisine of the user's choosing
* Price and distance are displayed
* I coded the menu function that allows users to pick what they want
* Java, Android Studio

Sidewalk Monitoring Project
Software Engineering
* Problem: sidewalks in the city of Los Angeles need to be kept at ADA compliant code
* Solution: A semi-autonomous robot that can detect the slope and determine where in the sidewalk is not ADA compliant
* Data is sent to Civil Engineers to analyze sidewalks
* Video is also being recording around the suroundings by the robot
* Raspberry Pi,Accelerometer, Digital Leveler
