Write problem/project Goal
For this project our group have in mind to use EL wire in mask that we will be created by ourselves. The overall goal is to use the Engineering process to incorporate EL Wire into facial wear.

My First Task
We had to decide between a list of projects that our instructor gave us. I chose illuminate clothing because besides of the Rube Goldberg machine, this project really got me interested. My task is to buy Plaster strips so we can make the mask that we will be using in class on Friday, November the 16th.

Summary of actual work over first weekend
Over the first weekend I worked on the mask

Working on Masks
On this week my team and I worked on the production of the masks that are going to be used with the EL wire. I bought the Plaster strips that were going to be used for the masks, and each team member bought one of the parts of the Project.

My Second Task
Finish the mask so it can be ready for the EL wire part.

Summary of actual work over second weekend
For this week I worked on finishing the mask and start tracing the path on which the EL wire would go.

My Third task
Finish setting up trace of the EL wire and start soldering.

Summary of actual work over third weekend
For this week I'm planning to sauder the EL wire onto the mask

Week3 Narrative
This week I started to trace the EL wire onto the mask and also I made a deep research on how to solder I found a really good video that explains how to solder and its basic video I finished working on the mask, and I started to document all of the work on wikiversity. As well, I uploaded some pictures for the tutorials made for the making of the mask.

My Fourth task
For my last task I was assigned to keep on documenting and writing in the team page of the whole process of the EL WIRE.

Summary of actual work over fourth weekend
I worked on documenting all of the worked done in the last four weeks and what was needed to be done for the groups that follow this project.

Week4 Narrative
For the next step we decided that the following group would need to find a transformer or a [https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10878? compatible arduino shield] to have it communicate with an ardunio. There is an incredibly useful tutorial on how to use the shield with the arduino right on the sparkfun website.
