Before settling on TedTronics, the team explored several project ideas over the first weeks of Integration Workshop 3 at UTFPR.

Week 1 — Team formation

Teams of up to five students were formed by semi-random draw from predefined sub-teams.

Week 2 — First round of proposals

The team presented three preliminary project proposals:

After the professors' rebuttal, the team was asked to keep two of the three and bring them back with more detail and specification.

Week 3 — Narrowed to two

The team presented a more detailed version of the surviving proposals:

Following a talk on functional and non-functional requirements, the team began writing the project's requirements properly — splitting them into functional, non-functional and anti-requirements, grouped by area.

Week 4 — Final decision

The team detailed enhanced versions of both plans. For Plan A, a web prototype was vibe-coded and tested with a 9th-grade student, whose feedback shaped the focus toward the educational aspect of the project.

After the class rebuttal, the team picked Plan A — the smart electronics workbench to develop for the rest of the semester. It was later named TedTronics. Plan B, "Kendo Tutor," was not developed further.
