During this time each member presented their eight pages of sketches to the other members. Wojciech's sketches focused on the LEDs, their housing and a method of attaching them to the perforated mesh on the outside of the New Academic Building.

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.

We discussed on several points: 1. Projector/flood lights: First we asked about the idea of putting projector across the street or inside the wall. But projector idea won't be as cheap as we expected because the light source should be very strong and can cost up to 40,000 dollars. Alternatively, we can install the light source inside the room.

During the Tiger Party meeting, the group presented their progress. They had done more work on refining the design idea and looked into some of the logistics of accomplishing it.

Jenna unfortunately did not have much to discuss. She had planned to have IR pictures to show Ganesh and to work on creating the array to test resolution, but the LEDs came in late.
