The document describes a student project to create a blog called "Trash to Treasure" that allows the exchange of unwanted goods through recycling and reuse. The students conducted research on recycling trends and designed a blog prototype to facilitate exchanges. An initial survey showed interest in the idea. The blog's goals are to have two exchanges per month and raise recycling awareness by 80%. Students reflected on learning teamwork and innovation skills through facing challenges in designing and testing the blog. [END SUMMARY]

MAST Workshop: Design Thinking in the ClassroomJessica Artiles
Slides for our Design Thinking Presentation at the Massachusetts Association of Science Teachers, co-presented with Rachel Shuler of The Meadowbrook School of Weston.
The slides walk through a basic design thinking introduction, introduce examples of design thinking projects from our K-8 classrooms, and walk through a curriculum design exercise with teachers.
These slides were prepared to introduce district leaders to the design thinking process. The design challenge we worked on during this day-long introduction was to redesign high school media centers. These slides were used to step participants through each phase of the design thinking process.
Immerse, Imagine, Invent, Articulate: A framework for disruptive innovationPaulJervisHeath
What new product or service could you invent that would completely change your customers’ lives? How could you disrupt your entire sector?
This practical workshop takes you through an innovation process, helping you to identify the clichés that exist in your sector and giving you the tools and time to redefine them. The workshop provides techniques to disrupt those clichés, generate genuine customer insights, turn opportunities into ideas through proven ideation methods, create a coherent concept and then articulate that concept.
The workshop shows you how to realise a new product or service through a lean process of prototyping and iteration and we discuss case studies each step of the way.
Find out why focus groups are not design research. Find out why the average brainstorm gives ideation a bad name and find out how to make your own innovation processes have tangible business outcomes.
This workshop was ran at UX Cambridge in September 2013 and will be running again at the J. Boye conference in Århus, Denmark in November 2013.
This was a half day working session for faculty development done recently at SJBIT, Bangalore. Objective is to introduce innovation and initiate action for set up a structure for developing student ideas.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

• In just a few short years, Freecycle has
generated an spectacular worldwide
outpouring of generosity, changing the world
one gift at a time. Folks with extra happily
share; those who need gracefully receive, all
without judgment - or any funds - passed.
• Freecycle performs many wonderful
functions: building bonds and community,
keeping material items from the landfills, and
redeeming the clutter that consumes us by
moving it forward to a new, productive life.

Good morning Mr Pierre, Ms Tan, teacher mentors and fellow leaders. We are pleased to share our project. Our mentors are Mdm Jaspal KAur, Mrs Polly chew and Mr Wai. We are thank ful for their guidance and support throughout the project.
Trash to Treasure is presented by Alisha, Amirah, Ain, Fatin, Shernin and Samantha
The ideas were hatched from the Story Board.
This is a scope of our presentation .
We valued team work and at the same time we practiced work division. This allowed everyone of us to be a leader in One area . This gave us room to develop and grow as leaders.
For Earth Day many activists are involved in looking into environmental and social issues. In fact ‘Save the Earth’ is a popular topic these days. To many of us, it means taking shorter showers, using energy-efficient light bulbs, carrying cloth bags, buying
organic -grown foods, riding public transportation, and STOP using Styrofoam.
But we wanted to find out what it meant to us . We decided to do some analysis and research.
First of all we had to understand the definition of 3Rs. It means to Lessen usage of things that contribute to pollution
What about reuse – It means to Use something again without wasting it
Finally Recycle meant to
Treat or process (used or waste materials) so as to make suitable for reuse
We also did some Literature Review. We realised that Singapore’s households do not recycle enough.
We can recycle up to 60% of “rubbish”
Thus we also realized that many items can be transformed from junk into unique treasures!
Whether it is incorporating odds and ends into handmade cards or using scraps to create new stamps,
There are plenty of opportunities for recycling and repurposing in many craft projects
Before we embarked on our project, we decided to conduct some survey so as to gain some depth into the concerns.
This is the response to the first question.
Many of the respondents felt more could be done by everyone of us and not only by the school.
These comments gave us the assurance that everyone agreed that we should do something more for Mother Earth.
We decided to work on the infusion of the concept of Recycle and Reuse
We thought of innovative ideas to infuse the concept of the reduce and recycle and came up with two projects . These were 1) To make materials out of recyclables. 2) To make a board game on the concept of 3Rs 3) To hold a Garage Sale and 4) To set up a blog where people can exchange their unwanted goods for something.All the team members could vote twice for an idea that they would like to work on. Most of the team members voted for the Garage Sale and the Blog.
We then evaluated the two short listed ideas.We listed the advantages and disadvantages. We felt the idea of jumble sale was not very innovative. Moreover, it would be difficult to store goods and getting rid of unsold items. As for the blog-it was creative, innovative and we had virtual space to store and exchange items.
We again did some literature review on our idea. There were many people already practising Free cycle. This is what one blog states. We would like to highlight the importance of building bonds and community .This will be great for our NE education
With that we decided to introduce the concepts of Free-cycle and Re-connect .
Our main objective was To reduce waste by connecting people who are throwing away goods with others who are seeking the same goods - We realized that we can make trash to treasure for some.
We were convinced that Freecycle is a great concept and it can keep useful stuff out of the landfill.
We worked out a time schedule . Fatin trained all of us in creating the blog. She led the rest of us on this concept. She seemed the expert.
These were our goals - To have at least two exchanges or ‘buy’ transactions per month.
To raise the awareness of the concept of Freecycling to school-mates by 80%.
Before we embarked on the our project once again we decided to conduct some survey so as to understand our customers better.
Many of them felt our idea was interesting and innovative. This gave us some affirmation.
We then asked if they would want to exchange items. Again the response was positive.
Finally when asked what items they would like to exchange , many indicated TOYS, books , costume jewellery. We were not certain of the bulky items,
And now Let us share our BLOG.
As we looked at reviewing our project targets we realised we were still a long way of achieving it.
We realised thAt we needed more publicity. -we had not received many postings
However Our project is on going and we would open our blog to all of you.
With your support we can do wonders and change Trash to Treasure
The benefits from this project were manifold. This project has allowed us …
to value the importance of teamwork.
2) to think out-of-the-box and to be innovative.
3) to face and overcome many challenges such as Designing and testing the blog.
4) Finally it helped us to gain knowledge on the concept of Social Innovation.
As we all know the Earth is dying, everyone should play their part in saving Mother Earth. We can make use of the concept of freecycling to save Mother Earth, nature and all the organisms living on Earth. It is therefore important to raise the awareness of the concept among parents, as well as young children who are the future generations of the world.
