Designs for Foraging is a design project that explores the use of IoT technologies in support of urban foraging. Through this project, we are developing use-cases; prototyping hardware, software and user interfaces; and exploring the use of open technologies for image capture and analysis. The underlying motivation for this project is to use design as a means of investigating future practices and to provide the basis for near-term open innovation with IoT in support of alternative practices of agriculture.

Code Crafters is a project that investigates the connection between quilting and computational thinking, via design-based research to develop instructional workshops for an adult population of quilters.

The intention is to understand in which contexts you feel motivated to report about your personal state. A typical GT student has a very busy life and it becomes challenging for researchers to obtain self-reported information from them in a natural setting. Using the sensors on your phone it is possible to learn the best time to interrupt students for information. Predicting moments when participants of in-the-wild studies feel motivated to report data can potentially improve the quality of such data.
