In order to prepare the Kick off week-end our team tried to meet although some of the members had enjoyed their free time away from School in their home country.

In order to work on the project we had to dust off some parts of the project that had been waiting since the intense end of the first semester followed by Christmas a […]

Hello CHIC community,

As I am writing these lines, the rest of the team is working hard on the second prototype of our turbine. I’m letting them sweat a bit and feel kind of bad for not joining right away, but so many things have happened this week-end, so there’s a lot to share!
Yesterday was – as Alex Wayenberg would say – a punch in the face for us.

It was indeed the […]

Dear CHIC Community,

The second milestone approaches quickly as we keep working on our mini-turbine. Some serious progress has been made this week in many aspects of the device. Some of us (Tamara, Victor & Alex) met at Starbucks a couple of days ago and discussed about the business side of our product (target, market, selling price, …) and also about some design ideas for the object itse […]

Dear CHIC Community,

Time flies and MS2 is coming soon ! As ou already know, many things have changed since MS1 if not everything ! We started all over again, and were a little bit of worried that things wouldn’t work out too well. We were afraid we’d end up with no concrete idea, wondering what kind of value we could provide to what kind of customer…but that was until a few weeks ago.

Hey,

We wrote this post on Tuesday, January 30th. And for our team, Tuesday is experimentation day.

Romain built a prototype for a bracelet that can transmit navigation information through vibrantions. The aim would be to allow a user to sense vibrations on his wrist and understand which way he has to go.

He started with a simple bracelet equipped with 4 vibrating motors and an Arduino Mi […]

Hey!

This week, Monday 29th January, Joanne and Romain worked on the questions we had raised the previous week. With this new direction, two prototypes are in the process of being created. Hopefully, we’ll be able to try it this Thursday with the rest of the team.

The two prototypes are:

– a vibrating bracelet thats able to track movement

– earphones that can transmit sound through bon […]

Hi everybody!

We met up last week on January 25th at the HEAD with the rest of the team. This meeting was definitely a revelation for the team. It allowed us to have an honest conversation about the frustrations each of us was facing at this point of the adventure.

Everything started with one simple but crucial question:

 
What’s our minimum […]

Last time we posted, we had defined a “world” we wanted to work in and had a blank page in front of us. The engineers were working hard on listing the possible technologies that could be interesting to develop for CHIC, I had started to look into our potential customer segments and developing our value proposition canvas while Romain and Joanne were mapping out personas, journey maps and helpi […]
