Today in Nuvu, my partners and I began but cutting out the remaining boxes we had not cut out from the previous class on the laser cutter and began to work on putting our prototype together.  We hot glued all of the boxes together and began to put them in place on their dowells and put nuts in as spacers for the boxes.  Once we had finished assembling this aspect of our project, we realized that our project needed to be tweaked in its overall design to make it as effective as possible.  Before we had 12 panels  formed into the shape of a heart that had two different pictures, one on each side.  Now we have decided that it will be more meaningful and more detailed for the patients if we have it so that there multiple pictures on each panel and all the panels come together to form a heart.  However most would not see the heart at first so it would cause the majority of patients to look at the project from a second glance and really feel in touch with our project and its fields of depth.  Next week we plan to build the framework for the outside of the project and fully assemble our first prototype.
