Jenna and Peter met to discuss their design ideas and reviewed what classmates had pointed out during the critique last Friday (that they liked the animated ideas, the Giving Tree and anything that connected personally with Cooper students). They set up a tentative timeline that would be modified after their meeting with their mentors the following day and decided to pursue a couple of design ideas and then narrow them down in a week or so. The ideas were as follows: The Giving Tree, a design the a random pedestrian can interact with, a psuedo-interactive design to raise awareness of The Cooper Union's financial situation and a final design that accesses online resources and imports certain information onto the mesh (ie. weather forecast, top news headlines, etc).

Shortly after this meeting Jenna and Peter also met with Professor Lima to make sure that they were heading down the right track since the objectives of this project seemed fairly vague. Professor Lima informed the group that their job was to make the End of Year Show as exciting as possible. By March 23rd, the day of the midterm presentations, the group was to have created a proposal to give to the school. The proposal would consist of a design idea, budget analysis, a prototype model of the building with the implemented design, and a small section of one of the many to-be-installed LED arrays. However, the proposal would have multiple variations; the $20,000 idea, the $5000 idea, and the $500 idea (the prices are not exact but just to provide scaled down versions of the design that could still be implemented for less money depending how much the school wants to give to the IR water mark project).
