3. MOTIVATION A project that showcases a wide range of technical skills
A project that utilizes the Raspberry Pi
A project that includes a networking application
Multiple slides may be used for motivating different aspects of the problem that is being solved through this technology or device
Change this graphic and add graphics related to your project on different slides – if in doubt add more rather than less illustrations.

4. INTRODUCTION Rasberry Pi Inexpensive A lot of supporting information
Easy to use
Twilio
Easy set up with Python
Free Trial account

5. PROBLEM STATEMENT Dangers of cat litter
Litter may contain quartz silica. A known carcinogen
Perfumes used to cover smell may trigger allergies
Difficulty keeping track of when to change the litter

6. Assumptions A Raspberry Pi Basic Knowledge of electrical Circuits
Basic knowledge of Python program code

7. PROPOSED SOLUTION Flow Chart fan Twilio SMS Sensor Raspberry Pi Phone
Exhaust Assembly

9. RESULTS
Text Message Notification
Fan Circuit
Program Code

10. CONCLUSIONS Great Learning Experience Learned how to make circuit
Learned about Python Programming language
Learned how to create and manage a project

11. FUTURE WORK Finish the code to tie all parts of the project together
Add another sensor
Make a better window section
Add another fan for better air circulation
