After thinking over the details of my project, my partner and I discussed the struggles our project would have. We weren’t sure that the led light would be big enough and bright enough to signal right away that the water bowl needed to be filled. So we thought maybe putting a beep every 2-5 minutes that there was a red light we be more obvious and a better signal. This way if you just get home you will hear right away if your dog needs water because it will constantly be beeping until the bowl is full of water. When the water bowl is fill and the dog has enough water there will be a green like and no beeping noise. We think that if you hear the noise it will be more obvious that your dog needs water.

My partner and I started to think about what we could make to help out things we do everyday. We finally decided that we wanted to make a sensor to sense when your dogs bowl is out of water. This will turn on a red led light showing you that it is time to fill up the dogs water bowl. This can be useful because so many times people forget to fill up the dogs water and the dogs get really thirsty. This way you don’t have to worry about making sure your dog has water in its bowl. We think this is unique because a lot of people are doing things for humains and trying to solve humain problems, but my partner and I are trying to solve issues for animals and dogs.This invention could be used for many animals, not just dogs. It could help basically anything that needs to be filled up with water regularly.
