I Need Some Help!

If I'm not on ATAR Notes (infrequent but it does actually happen sometimes), I'm cramming away trying to get my electrical engineering degree. Up to this stage this has involved a lot of plugging stuff into other stuff and seeing what happens, writing some codey-stuff to see how quickly it breaks my computer, etc etc. But all of a sudden, for this semester, they've said:

"Yep, go design and prototype a marketable product. 100% properly, like you were actually going to sell it. If it is good we'll work with you to actually get it patented and sold properly."

Wowsers. Big step up. In any case, I'm really excited to actually get my hands dirty for once! I'm working with a good friend of mine named Sebastian (he doesn't have an ATAR Notes account, sorry guys :() and we came up with a kind of stupid but really fun idea for a prototype that solves what is probably the literal definition of a 1st world problem - Needing to put down your knife and fork to use your computer/electronic device during a meal. It's really silly, but hey, maybe we can revolutionise the way you use your computer. Maybe. Probably not.

Anyway, I ramble...

I'd love if you could fill out this market survey for me ;D

It only takes like 3 minutes, I promise - Thanks heaps fam  8)

Done, good luck with your project. Honestly, my mum would freak out if she saw this idea haha, she is pretty pedantic about devices during meals.
I like programming, engineering and science💻⚙️

Yep, no way we're allowed devices at meals at home.  Meals = bonding time lol.

Interesting idea, nonetheless!
