Designing and Implementing Sustainable ICT Projectsleesyk
1) Grameen Foundation AppLab has a history of scaling sustainable ICT solutions in East Africa through programs like Community Knowledge Workers (CKWs) and mobile money product innovation.
2) Their approach involves designing programs and products for sustainability from the start. For example, their CKW program provides a 'Business in a Box' model that offers monthly payments to CKWs to disseminate information to farmers using mobile phones in a way that is 50% self-sustaining.
3) Key learnings include thinking about sustainability from the beginning, solving the right problems, considering all partner value propositions, finding the right partners, and using evaluation to improve or change approaches and not fearing failure
Craig Keefner runs Kiosks.org, a website dedicated to internet kiosks that provides news, trends, ads, and information to its members. The site serves as a middleman between members and potential customers. It has grown significantly since starting in 1996. Keefner is interested in kiosks from his previous work developing systems for retail kiosks. He now tracks kiosk trends and receives many inquiries about combining kiosks with pay phones. Pay phone providers see potential in using kiosks to provide internet access for phone users.

This document discusses technologies related to heat treatment and surface engineering of tools and dies. It provides background information on heat treatment processes for steels, including the effects of alloying elements and processes like quenching, tempering, and vacuum heat treatment. It also describes technologies like plasma nitriding and PVD coating. Plasma nitriding increases surface hardness through nitrogen diffusion and can form hard nitride layers. PVD coatings like TiN and TiAlN provide very hard, wear-resistant surfaces on tools through thin vapor-deposited layers. The document outlines these various processes and coatings used to improve the performance and lifespan of tools.

This document discusses the principles of New Urbanism and its goal of reintroducing urban centers and qualities to city planning. It begins by describing how post-World War II development led to isolated, car-centric communities that lacked the mixed-use, walkable neighborhoods characteristic of traditional urban planning. New Urbanism began in the 1970s-80s to address this by creating neighborhoods and urban centers with human-scale design. The document then outlines some of New Urbanism's key design principles, such as creating walkable communities with a mix of uses and civic spaces embedded within neighborhoods.

There are countless interior design styles. Included here are interesting rooms that go from minimal to eclectic- followed by some ideas for organization.
The youth attending CityArts
come from Providence’s inner-city
communities where they lack access
to the beauty of our natural world.
The Art and Nature Studio aims
to bring nature to Providence
youth, beginning an essential bond
between our environment and the
arts. The studio, an engaging space
housing specimens from all walks of life, utilizes hands-on interaction,
investigation and participation to provide outlets for a range of learning
styles, talents and interests. It is an opportunity for the kids to learn from
their natural world, to develop an understanding of our living planet, and
to become life-long advocates for the environment.
Satisfaction and good morale within
the workforce is interdependent with
feeling successful. Success for the
workers in the Women’s Center of
Rhode Island is connected to the
self suffi ciency and attitude of the
residents they serve.
The mission of this project is to
create an experience that aids
the success of the residents of the Women’s Center of RI, refl ect this
success to the workers, and in turn lead to a higher quality of service
and perpetuate a tradition of achievement, dialogue and empowerment.
The International Institutes main
goal is to give Refugees the tools
they need to live a happy and selfsuffi
cient life here in Providence,
but they are yet to put into
motion any long term plans for a
children’s program. While the I.I.,
does currently offer a short-term
babysitting facility it currently has no
budget for a daycare program, and does not have the means to create
one.
The mission of this Proposal for Change is to create and implement a
volunteer strategy that encourages local members of the community to
become actively involved with the refugee children. It will be the goal of
this program to help the children integrate into their new surroundings in
a healthy and productive way.
The volunteer training process
for Project Open Door has been
unorganized and impromptu, without
a planned calendar, explanation of
the layout of the program, guidelines,
responsibilities, and a social
approach to teaching high school
students. Due to these inadequacies,
a proper training process needs
to be implemented to make the
transition as a volunteer a smooth and enticing one.
This mission of the Peppers initiative is to improve Project Open
Door’s after school program through a coherent three-part volunteer
engagement process
As a part of RISD’s Bike-Town, Pink
Rides is a bike sharing program
which extends the joys of cycling to
those who do not own bikes in order
to promote active living, sustainable
transportation and interpersonal
connectedness.
The objective of Local401 is to develop and test human centered product design strategies in local communities. The process focuses on developing partnerships and participating in engaged research, where it is crucial to meet, work with, and learn from, local overlooked communities. The solutions utilize a variety of local material scrap, and manufacturing cut-off, creating an affordable and sustainable product. Production jobs and job training will be made available to homeless individuals in the community. Local 401 aims to connect local communities with local resources to develop local solutions.

A workshop presented by the Grain Collaborative at the Better World by Design Conference. How to use frameworks to uncover overlooked design opportunities, and how to partner with local organization to make social change through design.
Rwanda has a population of approximately 9 million people and is the most densely populated country in Africa. It has experienced very rapid population growth of 3.6% annually, which will cause the population to double in size within 20 years. While goals for eradicating extreme hunger will likely be met, eradicating extreme poverty will not. The 1994 Rwandan genocide dramatically increased poverty rates. Rwanda has made progress in education goals, with primary education enrollment rates rising from 67% in 1990 to 92% in 2005. It was also the first country where women outnumbered men in democratic government. Child mortality has declined significantly despite challenges from the genocide.
This design challenge document outlines a process for partnering with a local organization to increase their social impact through the design of a new product or service. The process involves four phases: HEAR (gathering input through activities like interviews and job shadowing), CREATE (making sense of the collected data to identify opportunities and define solutions), BUILD (building a team and prototyping potential solutions) and DELIVER (developing an implementation plan and identifying required resources). Key activities within these phases include synthesizing research findings, brainstorming solutions using techniques like deferring judgement, building on others' ideas, and focusing on quantity over quality of ideas, as well as gathering feedback on prototypes to iterate designs. The goal is to re
