Week0 Task
1. Costume, 2. Rube Goldberg, 3. Toy

Week1 Narrative
My goal for week one was to learn how to successfully connect the el wire. You can see my progress in my /CDIO/ page.

Week2 Narrative
Experimented some with the EL wire finding the best ways to connect and insulate it.

Here is the /CDIO/ page

My Third task
''Record what you are planning on doing for the team during the third weekend. Link to any CDIO documents you are working on that need to be considered for project points.''

Week3 Narrative
This week was spent perfecting my soldering and insulating skills. In the previous weeks I was experimenting to find the best method of connecting wires. I then had to put my practice into motion and make all the wires able to fit the circuit board. This didn't involve much thought as much as it did work. I did find ways that soldering can go wrong though. If you try to put too much solder on a wire it will not stick as easy as if you used less solder. Also, if you get the big glob of solder to stick, it makes it very difficult to put the heat shrink around the wires.

My Fourth task
Record what you are planning on doing for the team during the fourth weekend.

Week4 Narrative
This week was spent collecting materials and combining my /CDIO/ pages to make an understandable tutorial on how to connect EL wire. I will list all of my groups materials that we currently have.
