 # Day 1 - LinkMenu Fabrikas @ VilniusTech
 
+Welcome to Vilnius, Lithuania!
+
+You have left the scorching summer heat behind, and you're currently enjoying 
+much nicer and cooler temperatures than the ones you had back in Barcelona.
+
 ## Welcome to VilniusTech - LinkMenų fabrikas
 
+Most of the morning is spent meeting everyone and touring the facilities, 
+which include digital and non-digital fabrication workshops (laser cutters, 
+CNC machines, 3D printers, welding and woodworking workshops, etc...) as 
+well as multimedia, advertising, recording studios and editing rooms. 
+
+The centerpiece of the space is a small-scale replica of the famous 2021 
+[Portal](https://www.theverge.com/2021/5/30/22460964/vilnius-lithuania-portal
+-poland-connection-pandemic), an itinerant project that is meant to prompt 
+people to "rethink the idea of unity" by connecting two distant cities over 
+a realtime 24x7 internet video 
+feed.

+## The project
+
+The team's project is around building a device that ensures correct usage of 
+alcohol disinfectants in highly critical environments.
+
+Something like this, but smart and integrated with the building/environment 
+to ensure enforcement of required safety protocols.
+
+![sanitizer_concept.jpeg](day1/sanitizer_concept.jpeg)
+
+The device will help create guaranteed *clean zones* inside buildings, 
+without requiring manual verification of everyone who enters/leaves the area.
+
+### Built on existing research
+
+This concept is not new and has been researched in the past, particularly 
+since the COVID-19 pandemic. Eg. 
+(*Design and Implementation of a Smart Hand Sanitizer Dispenser with Door 
+Controller using ATMEGA328P*)
+([Edozie et Al.](day1/Design%20and%20Implementation%20of%20a%20Smart%20Hand%20Sanitizer%20Dispenser.pdf))
+published [IJEAIS - International journal of engineering and information 
+  systems 2643-640X](https://portal.issn.org/resource/ISSN/2643-640X#)
+
+![edozie_et_al.png](day1/edozie_et_al.png)
+
+### Project Management
+
+Most of the afternoon is spent working in our respective groups, getting 
+setup with minimalistic tools, equipment and rapid prototyping materials.
+
+![iterations plan](day1/iterations_plan.png)
+
+Our goal is to complete, at least, until Iteration 3 between 
+Tue/Wed/Thur, since Friday will be used entirely for pitches, showcases and 
+feedback.
+
+Iteration 6 is purely for marketing purposes, and it involves creating a 
+viral dance to promote the product. This is intentionally left as an 
+exercise for the reader.
+
+![kanban_board.png](day1/kanban_board.png)
+
+A simple KanBan board allows us to track done/doing/ready to start tasks.
+
+## Materials available
+
+### Using recycled materials
+
+Part of the challenge for Makeademy 2023 was ideating and creating solutions 
+that reuse material provided by EMP recycling.
+
+The materials donated were varied in condition, functionality and overall 
+health. Amongst other:
+
+- Various motors (Steppers, DC, Servos) that were removed from larger equipment
+- Power supplies extracted from desktop computers
+- Devices that could be disassembled for pieces:
+  - radios
+  - electronic keyboards
+  - music mixers
+  - lamps
+  - DVD drives
+  - etc...
+- speakers
+- IP/USB cameras
+- Fans
+- and many others
+
+![recycled_material.jpg](day1/recycled_material.jpg)
+
+Part of the challenge was determining which components/parts would be usable 
+and which ones would require too much work to salvage (considering the tight 
+deadlines we had to work with).
+
+### Using non-recycled materials
+
+- VilniusTech also provided brand-new components that we could use for our 
+  projects
+  - Programmable boards (Arduino/RaspbPi)
+  - Basic electronic wiring: Breadboards, jumpers, ...
+  - Arduino kits with standard sensors and actuators (eg. ultrasonic and 
+    infrared sensors, motor drivers, etc...)
+
+![arduino_ultrasonic_sensor.jpg](day1/arduino_ultrasonic_sensor.jpg)
+
+## End of Day 1
+
+By the end of Day 1, we:
+- collected the recycled material we were hoping to use
+- validated which ones could be salvaged and were in good enough "working 
+  condition" to include in our project 
+- had a basic definition of scope
+- had a simple progress tracker
+- had a working prototype of sprints 1 (detect hand, move a sample actuator)

+facilities
