Second Meeting - Getting closer

Last week we met NOA, our Instructor for the project, for a follow-up meeting regarding the ideas we brought up during the Brainstorming process. Together we realized that our thoughts and ideas are still pretty rough, and that we probably need to do some more thinking. Our main problem with the ideas we offered were that we directly thought about an app instead of focusing on a need. The subject for this year's MILAB projects is to answer a need between people that are in the same space and know each other. The app\website will have to stimulate interaction between the people. At the meeting we decided to go back and think about the needs again. What is missing between a group of friends that go out together to a bar? A family that doesn't spend so much time together? Or an office in which the employees do not know each other?

Today we sat with NOA again, our last brainstorming session was more successful than the first one and we offered our upgraded ideas. We are definitely getting closer. We found some needs that we can work with and even found some raw solutions for them. We mainly focused on the following spaces: A car, an elevator, payment between roommates or friends and social games that can be used in an office.

The next step is to do some research, we divided our team into small groups, each group will review the subject in hand and eventually we will present the review to the entire group in order to decide on the best idea. So good luck to us and may the best idea win!
