Over the last two week Connor and I had settle down an idea that we are both passionate about and finished our timeline for what we doing this capstone and planning out what we will have to complete that week. Before that we did a S.W.O.T. analysis of our project to have a good understanding of our internal and external helpful and harmful traits. This helped a lot because it allowed Connor and I to allot time to areas that we may have less experience and be able to improve our negative traits. The SWOT shows ours strengths, weakness, opportunities and threats. Strengths and weaknesses show internal traits that you are good at and need improvement respectfully. Opportunities and threats are things externally that can either help you complete the project more effectively or block any further progression on your project being completed. Personally I see the weakness playing a big part in our project. For example, Connor and I both have time management problems, over passionate, and both having little to none experience in programing. This has allowed us to make our timeline more focused on parts like the programing and dedicating more time to learning and researching how to program and use raspberry pi(s). After that we made our timeline outline. We are doing an umbrella type outline.We summarize what we want to accomplish each month.Then plan out each week into specific goals and what we plan on completing that week. During March we are starting on looking for primary journals, finding our mentors that can help Connor and I program, and finalizing the draft for the aquarium being installed into the enclosure. During April we our going to be doing the majority of our research and learning how to program.We are also going to have the majority if not all the animals selected for the enclosure. By then we will also figure out funding and if it is going to be self-funded or if we are going to be raising money. In the May we are planning on starting and finishing our essay. We are also going to make a draft of the final code that the raspberry pi will run so we can dedicate Capstone II to troubleshooting and getting the animals into the enclosure and have them adjusted to each other. During June we are going to finalize and finish anything we haven’t completed yet. Critical skills that i have developed over these two weeks are collaboration and creativity. Connor and I had to discuss about our plans and how we will move forward. We had to think what will need to be done sooner than later and how to set realistic goals for the two of us.
