5) Create 3 lists for your project: a) Things you need to have done for a minimal viable product 1x Instrument with functionally mapped parameters

b) Things that you want to have done by the final deadline 1x (wired) Laser Harp with functionally mapped parameters

c) Things that would be nice to have if you had unlimited time. 1x (wireless) Laser Harp with functionally mapped parameters

6) Create a list of materials needed.

1x Wooden Harp 
18x Laser modules 
18x 10kHz Photoresistors
1x Arduino + electrical components
1x Laptop

7) Create a list of steps to achieve your Minimal Viable Product.

1) Collect all materials.
2) Mount laser modules, photoresistors, and additional Piezo on harp frame.
3) Write an Arduino program that maps each laser/resistor pair to its respective string.
4) Incorporate the Piezo into this Arduino program.
