And we have only twenty of twelve and a half Euro to make it. So now we have to think about what we will make. First I wanna hear from you. Uh what are your experiences with remote controls. So
  Rikki Stansberry: Uh I will start.
  Janis Durtsche: F
  Rikki Stansberry: Uh
  Janis Durtsche: first.
  Rikki Stansberry: Big one, they are uh not easy to use. when I dropped it, uh it broke. So that won't be uh our goal, I think.
  Lizzie Payne: No.
  Rikki Stansberry: And uh g big buttons, m uh that's easier to use than uh I think. Not all the small buttons, you
  Janis Durtsche: Is
  Rikki Stansberry: don't
  Janis Durtsche: this
  Rikki Stansberry: know
  Janis Durtsche: positive or negative, that uh big buttons?
  Rikki Stansberry: Big buttons, positive.
  Janis Durtsche: Positive.
  Rikki Stansberry: All all small buttons like when you have uh like a hundred buttons on your remote control, you won't know what they're working for.
  Janis Durtsche: Okay. What are your experiences?
  Lizzie Payne: Uh well I think the the the goal of a remote control is that it's it it has an influence on the T_V_ set. And that
  Janis Durtsche: Mm.
  Lizzie Payne: it controls the channels and the the volume. And uh I I I think it's positive if corner of the of the remote. So that you know it s it still has batteries on it in it. And that if you push the button the LED uh gives a light, and uh and you see that it's working. And uh yeah. Uh
  Janis Durtsche: So
  Lizzie Payne: Yeah,
  Janis Durtsche: and
  Lizzie Payne: but
  Janis Durtsche: do they always have that?
  Lizzie Payne: No no no. But I my my experience is that it it it's convenient
  Janis Durtsche: It's
  Lizzie Payne: to have
  Janis Durtsche: easy
  Lizzie Payne: that.
  Janis Durtsche: to you.
  Lizzie Payne: Yeah.
  Janis Durtsche: Okay.
  Lizzie Payne: Yeah.
  Janis Durtsche: 'Kay.
  Maria Burger: Uh at home we have a T_V_, a video uh recorder, a D_V_D_ player, and a satellite receiver. have uh four distinctive remote controls
  Rikki Stansberry: Thank
  Maria Burger: for that.
  Rikki Stansberry: you.
  Maria Burger: That's not really ea easy.
  Rikki Stansberry: Help also.
  Maria Burger: So it would be nice if we have one for all.
  Rikki Stansberry: Thank you.
  Maria Burger: And we also had a remote control for our radio set. But um i it it had a lot of buttons on it, and you didn't know which one was what. And it was uh uh v not easy to use. So we n barely used it.
  Janis Durtsche: Okay so they have too much. So
  Lizzie Payne: Hmm.
  Janis Durtsche: next. For our own remote control we have to think how do we make it. So what ideas do you have for it, for the new remote control? What what does it have to have?
  Rikki Stansberry: The weight. Not not too heavy.
  Janis Durtsche: Not too heavy.
  Rikki Stansberry: Not
  Janis Durtsche: Yes.
  Rikki Stansberry: much buttons.
  Janis Durtsche: Yeah.
  Rikki Stansberry: Bust-free. That when you drop it, it won't break. Like uh some kind of rubber on it. Or hard uh hard plastic. Uh buttons not too small.
  Rikki Stansberry: Uh something like when you uh lose your uh remote control, sometimes it happen.
  Janis Durtsche: Yes.
  Rikki Stansberry: Uh it between the couch and you can't find it. When you push a but a button on the T_V_, then you hear some uh some sort of bleep.
  Janis Durtsche: Like
  Rikki Stansberry: And
  Janis Durtsche: a
  Rikki Stansberry: then
  Janis Durtsche: phone.
  Rikki Stansberry: you uh, hey there there's remote control.
  Maria Burger: Yeah.
  Janis Durtsche: Okay.
  Lizzie Payne: Yeah.
  Janis Durtsche: So,
  Rikki Stansberry: Next.
  Janis Durtsche: that's.
  Lizzie Payne: Yeah well that's that are good ideas. Uh Yeah well the LED on the corner, that that indicates that it's working. If you push a button. Um Yeah. And looking on the budget, not too expensive uh material. So probably plastic or something. Uh
  Janis Durtsche: Okay.
  Maria Burger: Yeah I think it uh from a marketing point of view, it also has to look nice. Or you won't sell it.
  Janis Durtsche: Yes.
  Maria Burger: And um yeah uh on our website we can see what products we already have. And it should work with as many uh as possible of them.
  Janis Durtsche: Okay. This is It has to be compatible with other things.
  Maria Burger: Yes.
  Janis Durtsche: Okay.
  Rikki Stansberry: I have one more idea. Just popped up.
  Janis Durtsche: Yes?
  Rikki Stansberry: Uh it it won't take a lot of batteries. So you don't won't have to change the batteries uh once a week or uh once every two weeks.
  Janis Durtsche: No battery use. So more ideas?
  Lizzie Payne: Mm no.
  Janis Durtsche: No okay. It's only the first ideas. So uh what are we going to do now is Next meeting is in half an h hour. Uh Okay. Next meeting, half an hour. Um, what you have to do.

Updated Content: For the first meeting, the task of designing a remote control was briefly introduced along with the plan for the subsequent meetings. The group then drew animals to practise using the drawing platform. They discussed their likes and dislikes regarding current remote controls, including ease of use, multiple systems and power indicators. They then offered suggestions as to what they would like from their remote. They would like the remote to be durable, for it to include a device to help find it when lost and not use too many batteries.
