Lost in translation: Engaging Immigrants in the Planning ProcessHanan Awaad
Planners work hard to create livable cities and understand the importance of walkable neighbourhoods. However, little is known about the perceptions of immigrants from varying cultural backgrounds in this regard.
The presenter will offer an overview of the findings of a study of Muslim women regarding their perceptions and attitudes about living in the suburbs. The intent of the study was twofold: to identify differences between the perceptions of planning professions and those of members of the Muslim community living in the suburbs; to gain an understanding of an effective participatory process for engaging differing cultural groups.
Focusing Development on Communities of Concern: Smart Growth and its Impact o...Urban Habitat
This panel is part of the Boards and Commissions Leadership Institute's (BCLI) Current Issues Series of Urban Habitat.
Plan Bay Area, approved in July 2013, moves the region's growth towards communities in the urban core within so called Priority Development Areas. These PDAs are typically developed communities throughout the Bay Area's 101 jurisdictions with existing and/or planned transportation and service infrastructure, but they are also existing communities where low-income people and communities of color are currently living.
As Plan Bay Area shifts 70% of future growth into these existing PDA areas, significant resources will be poured into historically dis-invested areas such as East San Jose, most of San Francisco and Oakland, and various other urban core communities throughout the Bay Area.
Who benefits from these investments? Will these resources support existing residents or displace them? Will regional planning create neighborhoods that disproportionately benefit newer, more affluent residents who will be lured by transit-rich, thriving urban communities?

ROD's 5 Gamification Design Questions: A Simpler, Faster, and Funner Toolkit...Rod King, Ph.D.
Gamification is a two-edged sword. Gamification represents both danger and opportunity. But first, what is “gamification”?
According to IT Research and Advisory firm, Gartner, “Gamification is the use of game design and game mechanics to engage a target audience to change behaviors, learn new skills or engage in innovation.” For me, gamification involves the seamless use of game strategies, tactics, and tools to entertainingly transform the behavior of customers and non-customers. Consequently, gamification offers us a huge opportunity to make this world a happier place while achieving serious goals. The Happiness Economy is here!
The business opportunity for gamification is huge: M2 Research, a market research consultancy in San Diego, projects that by 2015, companies would spend over $2 billion in gamification services. Gartner estimates that “By 2015, 40% of all Global 1000 organizations will be using gamification as the primary mechanism to increase customer engagement, improve employee engagement, and manage innovation projects better.” Surely, gamification is positioned as one of the Next Big Things.
And now for the danger. According to Gartner, “By 2014, 80% of current gamified applications will fail to meet business objectives primarily due to poor design.” In short, 80% of businesses would waste money, time, and other resources in trying to gamify their business models. So, how can we more systematically and successfully gamify business models?
Although there exist successful cases of gamified business models such as for Facebook, LinkedIn, and Nike, I have yet to come across a simple, fast, and fun process for gamifying business models especially for lean startups and small businesses. Many frameworks are emerging for organizing and presenting ideas on gamer archetypes, gamification tools, and mechanics. However, these frameworks are fragmented and little effort is being made to integrate them. I therefore set out to develop a one-page framework that visually integrates different approaches to gamification as well as facilitates the design of gamified business models. The Business Gamification Pyramid is the result. The targeted customer is a Red Ocean Disruptor (ROD); see http://goo.gl/ZyAJBP
For the design of a gamified business model, 5 Gamification Design Questions should be asked and iteratively answered (in the shortest possible time).

Slides for the ISQOLS webinar featuring John C. Havens, author of Heartificial Intelligence, and presenter at the ISQOLS 2017 conference, and Executive Director of The IEEE Global Initiative for Ethical Considerations in Artificial Intelligence and Autonomous Systems.
The algorithms powering autonomous systems and Artificial Intelligence are driving the future of society. Imbued within our cars, companion robots and smart cities, we are becoming a culture of code. The risks and benefits regarding these technologies are largely evaluated through the lens of GDP-focused, exponential growth.
But when robots and algorithms diminish individual agency by making decisions on our behalf, when the liability of their actions becomes too complex to assess or when Artificial Intelligence (AI) and robotics are transforming our jobs, we must question if this will increase or decrease our well-being. Humans can’t thrive unless metrics prioritizing positive mental and emotional health are elevated as key indicators of a flourishing society.
Heartificial Intelligence - the Intersection of Emerging Technology Beyond GDP features John C. Havens, Executive Director of The IEEE Global Initiative for Ethical Considerations in Artificial Intelligence and Autonomous Systems who will describe initial efforts to introduce Beyond GDP metrics into the AI community in an effort to prioritize human wellbeing for the creation and proliferation of these technologies. The goal of The IEEE Global Initiative's work is to invite cross-disciplinary research between technologists, engineers, and the Wellbeing / Happiness community to advance AI and robotics in a way that redefines innovation with a focus on flourishing versus exponential growth.

Up the Ratios Bylaws - a Comprehensive Process of Our Organizationuptheratios
Up the Ratios is a non-profit organization dedicated to bridging the gap in STEM education for underprivileged students by providing free, high-quality learning opportunities in robotics and other STEM fields. Our mission is to empower the next generation of innovators, thinkers, and problem-solvers by offering a range of educational programs that foster curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking.
At Up the Ratios, we believe that every student, regardless of their socio-economic background, should have access to the tools and knowledge needed to succeed in today's technology-driven world. To achieve this, we host a variety of free classes, workshops, summer camps, and live lectures tailored to students from underserved communities. Our programs are designed to be engaging and hands-on, allowing students to explore the exciting world of robotics and STEM through practical, real-world applications.
Our free classes cover fundamental concepts in robotics, coding, and engineering, providing students with a strong foundation in these critical areas. Through our interactive workshops, students can dive deeper into specific topics, working on projects that challenge them to apply what they've learned and think creatively. Our summer camps offer an immersive experience where students can collaborate on larger projects, develop their teamwork skills, and gain confidence in their abilities.
In addition to our local programs, Up the Ratios is committed to making a global impact. We take donations of new and gently used robotics parts, which we then distribute to students and educational institutions in other countries. These donations help ensure that young learners worldwide have the resources they need to explore and excel in STEM fields. By supporting education in this way, we aim to nurture a global community of future leaders and innovators.
Our live lectures feature guest speakers from various STEM disciplines, including engineers, scientists, and industry professionals who share their knowledge and experiences with our students. These lectures provide valuable insights into potential career paths and inspire students to pursue their passions in STEM.
Up the Ratios relies on the generosity of donors and volunteers to continue our work. Contributions of time, expertise, and financial support are crucial to sustaining our programs and expanding our reach. Whether you're an individual passionate about education, a professional in the STEM field, or a company looking to give back to the community, there are many ways to get involved and make a difference.
We are proud of the positive impact we've had on the lives of countless students, many of whom have gone on to pursue higher education and careers in STEM. By providing these young minds with the tools and opportunities they need to succeed, we are not only changing their futures but also contributing to the advancement of technology and innovation on a broader scale.
