Before starting out the week, our goal was to define the goals that were to be met, and use the diverse skill set of the group to accomplish the tasks at hand.
Despite the simplification of the final output through multiple iterations, we still needed a bit more conceptualisation in terms of the material that is needed, the physical components that might come into play.
Rebecca, our team member was quite efficient with this task and was able to break down the build into different components, that made the process easier

While the build was quite simple to figure out, there was a lot more intricacy involved with the use of LED strips reacting to different pitches of the sound. The process of making a sound-responsive LED strip came with its own technological challenges mid-way; there were times when it would not respond as well or keep responding at all times without any sound around.
However, through collective effort, we were able to achieve the output desired.
