• Jennifer and Taylor [3 hrs] - Worked on setting up Wiki account and project proposal. Did some research on building different types of laser harps.
• Yoojin [4 hrs]: Researched on the different types of laser harps (framed/frameless). Created the Gantt chart based on overlapping procedures. Looked into the Night Light project to be able to finish it in the upcoming week with Jennifer, since Taylor already understands the procedure. Started making PowerPoint slides for the Project Proposal Presentation.
