| + | Construction of the prototype continued in the workshop - this included the creation of the base for the mirror as well as supporting structures and welding. Testing continued of the electronic elements of the prototype with this part of the construction nearing completion. Some test results were uploaded to the wiki. The scientific poster was refined based on the feedback the team received. Work began on the user manual for the prototype. Work also began on the video required as part of the project. The team uploaded to the wiki the team agreement that was signed by each member in the early stages of the project. | ||

| 1. It was said at the meeting by the lecturers that it is not for them to decide the purpose of the solar mirror. However, they made some suggestions about the water distillation proposal. We were advised to consider the materials we would use. We would have to find materials capable of withstanding the extreme temperatures that concentrated solar radiation produces. We were also advised to think further about the water collection system. It was implied that perhaps the water distillation proposal was not the right way to go. | 1.

The companies that we purchase materials from must be vetted by the university to ensure they are operating in a proper manner. The authorisation process can take around 1.5 weeks. We must be able to justify the materials we are ordering and must carry out a comparative analysis of other materials. | + | 2. If we were to buy materials on our own, we would not be reimbursed.
