Last week in Nuvu, my team and I truly capitalized on the time we had to help finalize all aspects of our project. I made sure that was able to formulate and then finalize our pill press that we could use to make our algae pills.  I then proceeded to make the drying racks needed in order to dry our algae for the pill making process by formulating it in rhino and then laser cutting it.  Some of the key design challenges that we faced is not having the ideal materials we needed in order to finish the acrylic boxes to store the algae.  Also we had challenges in making sure that the pill press would be able to work and be made for ease of use.  The next we planned to prepare for exhibition night.
