+## Purpose
+This project is developed by Eamonn Trim, for the third year individual project.
+
+It's purpose is to develop an application that allows for Experiments in a Box (XBs) to be quickly launched from within the application.
+An XB requires at the bare minimum a set of instructions that a user will follow in order to attempt to improve one area of their life (Movement, Eating, Engaging, Cogitating, or Sleeping [MEECS]).
+In addition to this an XB may allow for the collection of data to enable a broader understanding of the society wide patterns that affect these important aspects of everyday life.
