What will this machine do?

My dream machine is an note book called May that helps students not to forget their homework or to show something to parents who sent them of school
The note book has mini columns to remember about something from the school and two-color lights: red to remember that the task has not yet been done and green to show that the task has already been done

Why was it invented?

I chose to make this machine because I very often forget about homework or show something to parents who send it from school

When was it invented?

This Dream Machine idea has been elaborated as part of the MyMachine DreamsDrop Campaign 2023

We selected this Dream Machine idea to be part of the MyMachine DreamsDrop 2023 Campaign. 

Design Students at the Tecnológico de Monterrey (Mexico) have been working on these ideas to translate them into a Proof-Of-Concept. 

   

A proof-of-concept is a demonstration of a product in which work is focused on determining whether an idea can be turned into a reality, and how this could be done. It validates a product idea. (It is not a Working Prototype. That is the next step in the design flow: developing a prototype is a loop process in which product design teams constantly review and refine the concept until all needs are fully met.)

The students had limited time and needed to use cheap materials to demonstrate the concept. The results are astonishing.
