We began the day with Becca giving us the challenge to create a new idea using a neck pillow and not attaching the piece to a chair. As a group we brainstormed new ideas such as having the piece under the chair that you pull it out  and use or going to a store to buy it a bring it on the bus with you. We felt that if we wanted to continue with our idea of making everyone a tourist we would have to keep the headrest/ pillow on the bus. We decided to change the look of the headrest as well making it like a shell for the head and neck and placed the speaker a bit behind the ear instead of on top of it. We wanted to incorporate something that would make the piece Boston and after brainstorming, we decided on sports and made the part that you place your head in the shape of a baseball glove. We made two different prototypes, one out of clay and the other out of cardboard and duck tape. Later on in the day we used Arduino  and learned how to make different sensors using Flora. It was cool to see how they all work and it will be cool to incorporate them into our project.
