6 Team Work
experiments with mimosa and ECG build up technical knowledge experiments with venus flytrap everyone got the same plants, Arduinos and EMG and sensors à experimenting together from distance try to build own biosensor regular meetings (1-2 times/week) and continuous exchange via Microsoft Teams
time
7 Iteration 0, 1 and 2
Possible Project Goals Collecting Advice and Experience Getting Technical • develop own sensor- • Lo-fi Prototyping to set based tool • Gather information about possible research project goal clear • get plant data of Plant set-ups • Getting known with Spiker Box from other 0 1 • 2 potential sensor and researchers Exchange information with other researchers Ardunio world • vision-based set-up who work on similar with webcam topics
8 Iteration 3, 4 and 5
Experiments with Understanding Plans for own Sensors: Motion, Schematics of Light & Soil Humidity SpikerBox, planning Measuring Tool EMG and ECG for 3 Experiments with 4 own Bandpass Filter 5 Camera & Plants Ideas for Experiments Biosignal Capturing

21 What Could Have Worked Better?
Limited access to plant Delivery problems Standards to grow a Scarce experiments and hardware resources plant (like season)
Compatibility issues Lockdown affected Non-dancing and No camera-based with MacOS and (team-)work and dying plants data collection Arduino access to hardware possible 22 What Worked Well?
Good teamwork & Getting out of the Observable Guidance & support sustainable motivation comfort zone & learning results from other something new researchers
A lot of fun & Great support & New challenging Insights into new friends motivation from knowledge domain diversified topics instructors 23 Thank you for your attention & feedback!
