Final V

No Pennies Plz

The final completed project!

1) the title and “strapline" of your project:

• No Pennies Plz: The Small Change Solution for the Savvy User

2) introductions to the team members 

• Just me: Brendan Ward, Gallatin Senior, Sociology and Design

3) the “elevator pitch” of your project:

• It's a change box that tracks your total $$$ and sorts your coins into different recepticals. 
• NO pennies though

4) description of the target audience:

• Anyone who saves change and can do without pennies

5) description of the need and/or existing interaction that the project mediates:

• It enhances the piggy bank into something that is interactive and much more useful

6) a step-by-step guide, with either photos or video, that clearly shows "how it works” from a user’s perspective

• see video below:
• Turn on
• Put coins in visually and size coordinating slots
• Read LCD total

7) a short discussion of where the project succeeded in its goals:

• It works pretty great
• With glass jars inside the sound of the coins dropping in is so satisfying!
• I lasercut the housing so I think it is quite aesthetically pleasing.

8) a short discussion of where the project failed to achieve its goals:

• The only real failure is the aesthetics of the inside of the box, which you wouldn't see very often anyway

9) what you would do differently next time:

• I might try to make it smaller

10) final thoughts/observations

• I will definitely use this thing! It's a great final/retirement of my Arduino!
