“Communication Begins With A Spark”

Should we still include this slide even though it's supposed to be more of a business pitch? I feel like with business pitches you don't typically talk about when things went wrong.
To Introduce Ourselves
● PyroCom was established in July of 2015 by the young women of the Ann Richards School.
● We are collaborating with the Austin Fire Department (AFD) to find an easier method of communication between firefighters.
● Communication is important in every situation.
Our Teams . Design Team
● CAD● 3D Printer● Design Manual● Computer design
Research/Financial Team

Report Team● Final report● Various manuals● Presentation● Written
components● Organization
Our Assignment and Mission1. Method of communication for the AFD
2. Keep people safe
3. Reduce accidents
4. Use our skills
Current Radio Systems The Radio Austin Firefighters
are currently usingThese are examples of some of the older models of the radio systems
Research● While researching, we had to factor in many different variables to
make sure our design would work
● It had to be durable, heat- resistant and waterproof as well as easy to use, visible in case of emergency
● We searched already existing products that we could incorporate into our design and that could give us a better understanding of how such things work
Our Product- 2D Model
“The Barnacle”
“The Shrimp”
“The Shell”
Barnacle CAD
Shell CAD
Shrimp CAD
Process Of Design● Brainstormed:4 ideas. ● Sketches and pros and cons ● chose hearing aid we call The Shrimp● Fire fighter drill= more brainstorming● Created the speaker component:The Shell● Started CADs and Google Sketchup ● The Barnacle

Finances and Contacts

● Our new additions to the radio system only cost $42 more than the original system
