The goal of this project was to rejuvenate an entity that is already pre-existing. For this task me and my team created a more personalized and convenient way for student athletes to track their water intake. We created the product H20 Track, a customizable water tracker that can be attached to any water bottle. The tracker is also compatible through bluetooth to an app that has various features from automatically tracking your water intake to even sending your number to coaches and team nutritionists. In order to create this product, various steps were executed.

This product was stemmed from the first process of brainstorming. After coming up with various ideas, tracking water through a customizable and portable system seemed revolutionary to us in regards to are target market of student athletes. This process was followed by surveying and interviewing a plethora of student athletes on campus about various components that were necessary in having a convenient way to track water for their coaches. After gathering this data we created a prototype that was saw fit. Following the prototyping stage, we took our product to the streets to see what others thought. Through this we discovered flaws that were given in the form of feedback, which we then used to make modifications to are pre-existing prototype. This modifications included reducing the weight in order to make sure that it would not add too much weight to the water bottle. Additionally, we added the component of being able to compete with teammates through a game like counter inside the app it is connected to. Once we finally felt that we had a concrete product we created a business presentation in order to showcase and sell our product to an audience.

In the completion of this project the various skills listed below all played a key part. For starters, design thinking was used in order to create a new product design that was creative and innovative while also being rejuvenating. As stated before in the creation of the product, prototyping played a huge role in creating a strong product as well as having a sense of design evaluation to make sure the product fits our target markets needs. Finally, when presenting this project public speaking as well as professional communication was used in order to present our product in a compelling way.
