Guiding Questions

1) In a final version, how could I design the product so that it ties into your identity specifically?

2) Do you have a form factor in mind for this product? Do you want it fold up to make storing it easy?

3) Is there a way that we could make it so that it takes your whole family to make tamales?



Looking for feedback on

1) What different materials can I use to diffuse the LEDs?

2) What different mechanisms can I try to place the rubber band on the tamale?

3) How can I account for different corn husk sizes?
