Content
Before this project, I already knew how to conduct research and I knew what to look for/out for when looking at pet care sources.
I needed to learn how to apply what I knew to my problem and what aspects will work in what places.
Skills
I already knew how to work with building websites and creating content for this kind of work.
I needed to learn how to design for a user, how to make a product for others besides myself.
L E A D E R S H I P
When & where I took and displayed leadership skills during my STEM Capstone process:
#1
Information & Execution
I practiced leadership in interviews in order to gather information relating to my problem from real pet owners.
Reflections:
#2
Solution
Effectiveness
I believe my solution can aid in solving the problem; however, I know that the problem runs deeper than the lack of resources. The user has to want to look for any solutions to their problem, which includes my solution.
My feedback group members thought it was an adequate solution to my problem, it informed them and guided them to look for new resources.

Improvements
& Additions
My product’s design could be added to and improved upon as its design is simple but not exactly the most exciting. The product could also be more specific, such as what some websites that are good or bad examples of resources or even offer care tips on specific breeds and species of animal.
These potential improvements would offer my user a better experience and access to information that they may need.

Prototyping Process
My prototyping process went smoothly, I got good feedback and critique and adjusted my product accordingly. The only part that was difficult was collecting research and organizing the feedback group sessions.
