I've always wondered how I could control a physical device with my phone, leading me to enroll in a graduate class called Designing Networked Objects: From IoT to Smart Environments.
Over the course of four months, I went from zero electrical engineering experience to designing and developing a web app and phygital sticky note.

Christian and I did online research together, then went to Target separately to see how products we researched felt in our hands for ping.
With zero electrical engineering and back-end knowledge, our experience was very limited by what we were able to feasibly. We split our development into 4 phases.
Our user experience was challenged after each phase.
