### Week 1 
We discussed the ideas of possible projects we could take on for final PBL 
project listed included:
* Smart health coldchain box 
* Scooter status monitor and tracker
* Smart rubbish_bin

### Week 2 
Details were discussed under each proposed project:
1. Smart health coldchain box
    * The health coldchain box,  was a small refrigerator using peltier plates to effect the cooling effect with a small fan to aid heat transfer.
    * Addition of phase change material and ice to aid keep temperature much longer for over 29hrs withour need for powering.
    * This would aid transfer to distant areas and proper storage once there
    * The box would then be tracked and be able to locate nearest hospital for easy storage.

2. Scooter status monitor and tracker
Scooter rental service with the ability to tell the location of the scooter as well as tell it's status incase of an accident.

3. Smart rubbishbin
The photo could tell when bin is full. and its location for easy gabbage collection.
