Pick Me, Click Me, Educate Me!

I recently gave my masters graduation project presentation on designing for social impact and using photography as a research tool to help in the creation of social awareness solutions. I focused on the issue of child education in rural Bihar (India). The project was well received in the presentation and the overall consensus was good.

The final outcome of the graduation project is the website Pick Me, Click Me, Educate Me! This project serves to provide a platform to people from different backgrounds (photographers, writers, educationists, social workers, donors etc) to collaborate. It allows to utilize the work done by one group (like photographers who go to these locations and shoot), for discussion with the others who are not able to. It therefore allows aims for promoting , discussing, writing about, and finally donating (again not the prime focus) for, the issue of child education in rural Bihar.

Here is the promo video for the project

And this is the presentation that I made in the class.

HCI Design and Agile .. where does it head to?

I came across this interesting presentation the other day on Slideshare. Human-centered design meets Agile Development View more presentations from Maria Giudice. Often I wonder where is all this heading. While some believe that the two are definitely going to cross paths in the near future, there are a few who think that this might not be the case. Lets go through the presentation and decide for oneself. I think that the possibilities are exciting!
