Final Project Design Tasks

Now that we are in the last week of classes, we need to buckle down and figure out how to demonstrate our final design. The major change/addition we will have for the final presentation is the microneedle array. We have decided that the best way to demonstrate the needles would be through 3D printing or laser cutting a design where the needles are bigger (not necessarily on the micro-scale) just to get our point across. After all, we just need to demonstrate that our application device will shoot the needles into something (such as cooked chicken, styrofoam, or playdoh - something that would mimic the skin). This task will be hashed out in group meetings between this and next week, before our presentation on Friday, May 9th. Our allergy test device design has come a long way from the beginning of the semester and we can't wait to show everyone how it will physically work (even if it is scaled up to get the proof of concept across).
