This group project was incredibly difficult due to current circumstances involving COVID-19. By working in a group, we could not meet up to discuss plans or work together in a face to face environment. Due to this, we were unable to share the work load evenly and communication was difficult. We overcame the issue of communication by starting a WhatsApp chat, where we shared photos and videos of what each team mate was doing and working on. We used the chat as our only source of communication and, despite the circumstances, I feel we all did well to achieve the final outcome.
Due to communication being limited, I feel my blog post explaining the process of this project is of lower quality than the rest of my work. I have tried my best to ask teammates questions but it is difficult to grasp everything through messages rather than a conversation, especially since we had to work on different aspects of this brief individually.
Despite all the setbacks, this has been a fun project and I have gained knowledge and understanding of Arduino and coding. I feel that Sam, Millie and I worked effectively together and were able to produce our work to a high standard.
