Weeks 6 and 7

We are late but here is our weekly report! Our week 6 was a little difficult, because Ademar and I (Beatriz) were sick. Despite this, team 2gether continued its work. At that time, we decided that Rua Ademar de Barros, in Jardim de Todos os Santos - Senador Canedo, would inspire us to create our model street, after all, it was decided in our meeting with the counterparts that we would create an ideal street prototype, to make it an example for urban mobility in Senador Canedo. Here is a visualization of the street we are working on. We did research on how to make a street accessible, and found several booklets prepared by City Halls from all over Brazil, which provide information on sidewalks, wheelchair ramps and tactile floors. There are also the notebooks of the "Brasil Acessível - Programa Brasileiro de Mobilidade Urbana (Accessible Brazil - Brazilian Urban Mobility Program)" developed by the National Secretariat for Transport and Urban Mobility, and vol

Report 1 - Meeting with counterparts

Report 1 Meeting with counterparts April 14, 2020 On April 14, 2020 at 10 am (Brasília time, GMT-3), the meeting began to present the Lapassion project of the Team 2gether to the counterparts. All members of the team 2gether were present at the meeting, as well as one of our tutors, Neemias, and Pedro, Edisberto and André representing Senador Canedo's Municipal Traffic and Transport Secretariat and Victor were present on behalf of the Municipal Secretary of Education and Culture of Senador Canedo. The project's theme is "Use of technologies to improve urban mobility for people with specific needs". During the week before the presentation of the project to the counterparts, a video was prepared, summarizing all the work done by Team 2gether to date. This video addresses the main reason for choosing our solution to solve some of the urban mobility problems that large cities face.

In this fifth week, our team made another brainstorming to decide which project would finaly be presented to our counterparts. With information obtained by Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) and the mentoring of our tutor, we decided to focus on creating our project with a solution to help urban mobility of visually impaired people , which are the most numerous in the cities of Goiânia and Senador Canedo. Our idea was to make improvements to bus stops in the city to help people with visual impairments , so we soon started putting together our presentation and creating our 3D model. Another task of the week was to decide who would be the leader in each of the last weeks of the Lapassion project. Our team made the sorted by video call on whatsapp and, as you can see in the picture below, Nelson was chosen to be the leader in our last week at Lapassion!!

Week 4 - Part 2

Also in our fourth week, we decided that it would be necessary to collect the opinion of people with specific needs about their way of life and also their greatest difficulties when they need to get around in their citys. After all, we are developing our project using the Design Thinking methodology, and we need to create empathy with the people to who our project will be aimed. So it is VERY important to listen to their opinions. So, here are the interviews that we made.

Week 4 - Part 1

In our fourth week on the Lapassion program, Team 2gether did a lot of research about technologies already created to help people with specific needs in their urban mobility. We found technologies used worldwide and also those used in the metropolitan public transport region of Goiânia, better known as RMTC Goiânia. All this new knowledge was necessary to give us information about what already exists and also to evaluate what we could develop for our project. Here are some technologies we found. 1.
