Hello Everyone,

This weekend was full of new things. We met for the first time all the group of the other schools, we had the chance to present our concept and to know the other projects, we received a good feedback and we spoke to experts. It was very interesting to see how other groups find different kind of problematics and how they achieved to resolve them. We also received a good feedback on […]

Now that we knew exactly what we’ll be creating we caught up all the work other teams did during the lift-off weekend and defined personal tasks to everyone to make our prototype as soon as possible.

The MVP (minimal viable product) was defined and risk management was assessed.

Soon we will be creating an installation where people will be able to better connect to plants, understand their […]

Hello everyone,

Over the weekend, we decided what we’re going to do for the next few weeks. We are going to test our four prototypes during meetings and decide which feature is the most useful for the participants. After this step, each student is going to focus on his or her role in the group.

Stay tuned!

This weekend the Geneva team got together with all the other CHIC teams in Lausanne and we had a blast. With the expert guidance of John Fass and the CHIC mentors, we went from brainstorming to bodystorming, from cyber-jousting to analog 3D-pong. As a result of some tough questions we refined the definition of our MVP, we identified the most important risks that could threaten the success of our p […]

Our MS2 meeting was very ‘intense’, if that is not an euphemism. We came to realise, for different reasons that are explained here, that our group was oriented toward the wrong direction. The product that we presented, a connected compost home plant pot, wasn’t satisfying our expectations for what we wanted to do in the CHIC program. This blog post is going to explain the reasons of our mist […]

Hi everyone !!!

The ResourceFul team has just evolved into ……. the Shockeys !!!

This week has been super productive for the team. Real environment testing, hardware making, and design thinking. 

The second milestone brought us plenty of insights ! […]

Good evening everyone,

I think we all share the same feeling: what a weekend! So much to analyze, to understand and to think about…

We got a lot of important insights and very useful feedback from all supervisors; thanks again! We uncovered tons of tiny details that will definitely shape our next prototypes and the final solution.

Thanks to John Fass, we understood the importance of data mana […]

The team has been busier than ever over the end of semester break. So busy we overlooked our blog posts. I took us some time to make our choice of what project to proceed with, but we finally made one, and ever since our workshop has been buzzing with the sound of busy bees, and some airborne buzzing too. The engineering team is happy to have some clear objectives and some tough problems to solve. […]

Hi everyone!

This week was really fun for everybody on the team! We were on holiday, but we managed to work on our project, and actually, we made a lot of progress.

We completed the Wifi communication between two ESP32s. This was performed by Diane, who was under a coconut tree on a Caribbe […]

Hello everybody,

It was a very special week for us, we found our solution!

As it has been said in the previous post, we took some steps back by giving up on the contraceptive pill to go with the Alzheimer disease.

All this means that the last few weeks have been intense for use. After looking around for the best solution, we came up with several ideas that we had the opportunity to present to o […]

Hello everyone,

We decided to make 4 different prototypes designed to improve the quality of meetings.

The first prototype is simply several hourglasses that will be distributed to the participants of the meeting so that everyone is aware of their speaking time.

The second one is a connected box allowing the members to vote anonymously on decisions made during conferences. This tool takes into […]

Hi everyone,

Last week we present our milestone 2 to our professors. It didn’t go as we planned and we have some adjustment to be prepared for the Lausanne weekend. We have two more weeks to do it. Today we are meeting to see how our qualitative interviews went.

Stay tuned for updates!

Hi everyone!

Some news from the RessourceFul team 😀

Now that most of us are on holiday, we can work full time on our idea. But when we are on holiday, it’s hard for us to meet physically, so we had our first fully digital meeting.

Hi everyone,

As said in the previous post, we decided to focus on the Alzheimer’s problem. Thanks to different phone interviews, we had the opportunity to find a lot of different insights and test our previous ideas. Here is a quick reminder about our two last solutions :

• A connected watch/ bracelet that would display daily tasks as well as perform GPS tracking
• A watch strap […]

Hello everyone!

During this week, we discussed about the different prototypes we are making for our assumption testing. We want them to be ready for next week in order to test them on professional meetings and to know if our ideas could improve the quality of meetings.

Stay tuned for updates!

Hello everyone!Last week, we discusted more about the specifications of our solution. A lot of ideas came off and we think that we got a good start with our project! We planned users tests, positionned against the concurrents and concentrate to find the best way to make our solution accessible to disabled people.This is really exciting and we are glad to move forward in something tha […]

Good evening everyone,

These last few weeks have been difficult for “Lucie et ses Garçons”.

Following our meeting with our coaches and our weekly team meeting, we took over everything from the start. After […]

Hi everyone!

This week, the Resourceful team managed to meet twice  (insert small victory dance!).

On Wednesday, we went to the final of the ice hockey men’s tournament of the 2020 Lausanne Youth Olympic Games. It was the first time attending a live ice hockey match for some members of the team and what an inspiring moment! Watching these young talented athletes race through the ice rink […]

Dear all,

This week was really useful for us as we had an important meeting with our supervisors. At first, we were quite confident about the way we would like to take with our solution. Thanks to our supervisors’ pieces of advice, we realized that we missed a lot of different aspects of our main subject (contraceptive pill).

Moreover, we found new competitors that offer similar solutions for ou […]
