Additionally, we were assigned the nightlight project and the blackjack project. Jarrod will focus on the nightlight project, while Katy will focus on blackjack; work will likely be done simultaneously in order to keep the other in the loop. Katy was briefed after class on the blackjack project, while Jarrod continued formatting the Wiki page and updated the weekly log.

Week of January 27th - February 2nd
- Monday 1/28: Met with Professor Feher and Ethan Shry (TA) to discuss which direction to take our project. In the end, we settled on doing a wearable headband that has a Rasberry Pi and accelerometer that can collect impact data and transmit it to a web platform for interpretation.
- Thursday 1/21 Researched causes of concussions and CTE. Determined that tracking many minor collisions with the purpose of developing a conclusion about an individual's risk for CTE would be challenging because there is limited research in that area. Decided instead to continue forward with tracking concussions, which occur when an individual sustains 95g's to the head.
