Wrapping Up: A Final Note from Team Nexus

As our project comes to a close, we find ourselves reflecting on the past few weeks — the late nights, the iterations, the feedback loops, and all the little “aha!” moments along the way.

What started as rough sketches on paper quickly turned into cardboard mockups, digital renderings, and eventually 3D prototypes. Our journey was messy, scrappy, and full of pivots — but every step added depth, clarity, and life to our idea.

From Concept to LIFE & CASPER:

✂️ Cardboard mockups helped us bring our ideas into the physical world. They gave us a sense of scale and helped us understand how CASPER would exist in the real world.
💻 Digital renderings gave our concept a sharper edge. They made it easier to share, get feedback, and visualize how things could work.
🎞️ 3D animations and renders added dimension (literally!) and brought movement and function to what was once static.
🛠️ The final prototype — a blend of 3D printing and styrofoam board — merged precision with creativity, representing the best of everything we’d learned.

This last prototype is more than just a model; it’s a symbol of all the revisions, challenges, and tiny victories we’ve had throughout this process.

As we close out the project, we want to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported us — whether by giving feedback, lending your expertise, or just cheering us on from the sidelines.

It’s a little bittersweet writing this final blog post as a team. For some of us, this marks the end of a chapter — we graduate and move on. For others, there’s still more to come. Either way, we’ll always carry this experience (and each other) forward.
