Poster Session and a Public Test
This week was a busy week for the team! Part of the week was spent presenting a poster at the HCDE Research Showcase, and our meeting was spent testing EMAR in a public setting for the first time!

Debugging EMAR
The session this week focused on debugging EMAR to prepare EMAR for data collection in the field, and it proved to be quite a challenge! We accomplished a lot over the course of the week before our lab meeting, and EMAR looked to be in pretty good shape.

First Test with Users – A Learning Experience
This week was our first pilot test with users we grabbed from the HCDE hallways. The Feeling Heard (FH) and Social Interactions (SI) teams recruited five participants.
The goals of the pilot were to learn how EMARs new script and eyes were working, and what adjustments we might need to make in our study protocol.

Designing Eyes and Duplicating EMAR
This week we are focusing on designing EMARs eyes, making some technical improvements, and building a duplicate EMAR so we have two versions to test in the field.

Introducing EMAR the Ecological Momentary Assessment Robot
We want to gather longitudinal data on stress in teens in order to better understand the experience of stress and to begin to build a profile of what stress looks like for teens. We want to gather this data on-site, in a high school from as many teens as possible and the only way to do this is a robot.
