Midterm Report

Hi everyone!🏃🏻‍♀️💨

This is part 2 of what we did for midterms week. Not only did we present our midterm presentations, but we also showed our midterm report progress at the end of the week. The report was an expansion on our midterm progress that is formatted as a booklet. This stage had its challenges with organizing all of the gathered data together and formatting it together as a cohesive theme. However the research helped significantly with discovering what were the essential needs that I would need for the app and what I can do to meet the needs for the targeted users.

This was the following criteria for the booklet.
