 | '''Creating an ambient method of communicating for 12 to 15 year old girls will create fewer interruptions that distract them from being in the moment at home and at school and improve their personal connections.'''
-* Bulleted list item
+* We've completed our Research Findings for our latest research study ([https://docs.google.com/a/mozilla.com/presentation/d/1-tIWwk2JJbQpfM_j2fi5MVUfsfXHQGfN0z7nCqfAUdU/edit?usp=sharing User Research #2]). A summary of the the User Study:
-* Bulleted list item
+** The girls prefer a device that:
+*** '''Is always on''' and '''more portable''' (less bulky)
+*** Has a '''smaller form factor''', likely wearable
+*** '''Has more light choices''' that let them send different messages
+*** Lets them see their '''missed messages'''*
+*** Lets them communicate with a '''small group of friends'''*
+*** Note (*): These desires are, we suspect, conditioned by the expectations the girls have developed after using their smartphones
+** Other observations:
+*** The '''rainbows''' delighted all the girls!
+*** The girls are keen to know the '''status and availability''' of their friends
+*** Most communication happened in the personal space of the '''bedroom in the afternoon and evening'''
+* Hypothesis, did we achieve what we set out to do?
+** Our hypothesis assumed that the girls would want ambient communication that did not distract them from other things. We didnot prove this -- they don’t seem to mind (much) the volume of communication they receive and didn’t seem interested in non-distracting communication methods.
+** Our hypothesis also assumed that using this device would improve communications with their friends. We neither proved nor disproved this. But we saw a glimmer of proof in their desire to know about the status and availability of close friends.
+* Conclusions from the User Findings and [https://docs.google.com/document/d/10mtbBIhJ_553V6kNuGlbL9YDzsmNekvB7YkVhHPMbHQ/edit?usp=sharing Decisions] made about next steps: We want to do another experiment that focuses more narrowly on improving communications between close friends by helping girls know the status and availability of their close friends
+** Continue with the 12-15 year old girls.
+** Uncover other “desires to know information about my friends” that could be supported by an ambient device.*
+** Focus on small group of close friends - about 5.
