__**Worked on the proposal ( intro & conclusion)**__
The exhibit we are going to create is a 3D virtual simulator. This virtual simulator will test the visitor’s reaction rate and cognitive ability under stress. They will be asked to solve a puzzle at the beginning and the time taken to solve the puzzle will be used as their normal reaction time. They will again be asked to solve a similar, but different puzzle under stress to compare their reaction time.

To attract the visitors and keep them coming back to this exhibit, there will be a record for them to break. The record will show the top 5 persons name who took the lest amount of time to solve the puzzle while under stress. We will identify the science behind why the the visitors will solve the puzzle faster/slower when under stress and share the information with the visitor in the end.

__Worked on the Goals __
It's really rough guys, fee free to fix it

Goals - Map out the exhibit (find dimensions, what is going to go where?) - Decide what test we’re going to get the visitors to perform - Build a physical model (everyone) - Research the science behind the exhibit - Build a computer model - Find out how we can encounter Smart Phone with the exhibit

Budget We need money to build a physical model. With the $50 we will buy - Lego - Cardboard - Tape - Glue - Paint (if needed) - Cloth (if needed) - And other things that we need to build the model

Roles - Build a physical model (everyone) - Research the science behind the exhibit (Abiramy, Ayesha, and Sageban) - Build a computer model (Anthony and Sharara) - Find out how we can encounter Smart Phone with the exhibit (Rochelle)

__**New Idea - stop the difference**__
- There will be two booth (2 people can participate) - there will be a screen that divides the booth (individuals sit facing the screen) - there will be an image on both side of the screen. Both the images will be very similar, but will have a few difference - the task of the individuals is to spot all the differences without looking at eachother screen (individuals will communicate throught a phone, which will be provided.)
 * __Description__**

__**Challenge/main idea**__ Are we losing the art of communication because of technology? Although cellphones connects people together, today cell phones are used more to text than to talk. Is this affecting our verbal communication skills? This exhibit will answer these questions.

__**Science Behind**__ (not really science but supports wht im talking about) [] [] [] []

__**Will people come back?**__ People will come back to solve different challenges and to test their limits

__**Collaboration**__ 2 people can try this exhibit at a time. Looking at others participate will encourage the spectators to also try this exhibit.

__**Why should our exhibit be in the Human Limits and why will visitors keep coming back? (report)**__
Our exhibit will have a score record board that will show the individuals score and the highest score reached by a visitor/group. This score will be based on the amount of force applied on the wall. The score board will encourage individuals to push their limits and get the highest score they can. In order to do this, they will keep coming back to the exhibit. If the individual/group exceeds the highest score, they can enter their name, if they wish, and their score will be used as the new record. Also, since our exhibit creates an adrenalin rush, visitors will encourage their family members and friends to try the exhibit just to watch them get a panic attack. Visitors will also share their experience through media by uploading the pictures they received from our exhibit, which will encourage others to come to the Science Center and try out the exhibit themselves.

__**Presentation**__
What exactly do you like about this exhibit? - i like how this exhibit allows me to learn in a collaborative way - having my friend with me really made the experience better for me - i am really glad that this exhibit is designed to allow 3 participants at a time because I came here not only to learn science, but to learn it in a fun way

Would you recommend other visitors to try this exhibit? - definitaly - this exhibit not allows you to test you limit, it also encourages you to push your limit - there is a score board that displayed our score and the highest score - we were encouraged to beat that score, so we kept trying it over and over - we didnt get the highest score..... but we're not giving up... we're gona go around look at other exhibits....and than come back to the great wall, and try it again - we realllly want our name to be displayed for getting the highest score :)
