Noondawind: Co-Designed Dashboard for Indigenous Data Access and Environmental Policy Implementation

Climate change, urbanization, and pollution threaten ecosystems and the treaty-guaranteed rights of Native Nations in the Great Lakes region. Tools that support culturally relevant implementation of policy and meaningful access to environmental data for sentinel species like Manoomin, wild rice, can help uphold treaty…

Whose Knowledge Counts? Co-Designing Community-Centered AI Auditing Tools with Educators in Hawai`i

Although generative AI is being deployed into classrooms with promises of aiding teachers, educators caution that these tools can have unintended pedagogical repercussions, including cultural misrepresentation and bias. These concerns are heightened in low-resource language and Indigenous education settings, where AI…

Sustaining Workers Who Sustain the World: Assets-Based Design for Conservation Technologies in Madagascar

Local workers and their knowledge are essential for sustainable and effective conservation efforts. However, many technology-assisted conservation programs are guided by global benchmarks (e.g., forest cover) and industry metrics (e.g., cost per acre), which often devalue local knowledge and fail to consider the econo…

DissolvPCB: Fully Recyclable 3D-Printed Electronics with Liquid Metal Conductors and PVA Substrates

We introduce DissolvPCB, an electronic prototyping technique for fabricating fully recyclable printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs) using affordable FDM 3D printing, with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as a water-soluble substrate and eutectic gallium-indium (EGaIn) as the conductive material. When obsolete, the PCBA ca…

DropPop: Designing Drop-to-Deploy Mechanisms with Bistable Scissors Structures

Deployable structures often rely on complex deployment mechanisms such as external pneumatic pumps, electric motors, or manual assembly. These conventional methods, which are intended for applications in shape morphing architectures, robotics, and product design, can be bulky and unwieldy for everyday interaction and…

BIOGEM: A Fully Biodegradable Gelatin-Based McKibben Actuator with Embedded Sensing

We present BIOGEM, a fully biodegradable McKibben actuator with integrated sensing, made from gelatin-based composites. By tailoring the material compositions, we customize the mechanical and electrical properties of the biodegradable composites, creating an integrated biodegradable system that combines both actuation…

Interaction Harvesting: A Design Probe of User-Powered Widgets

"Whenever a user interacts with a device, mechanical work is performed to actuate the user interface elements; the resulting energy is typically wasted, dissipated as sound and heat. Previous work has shown that many devices can be powered entirely from this otherwise wasted user interface energy. For these devices, w…

SmokeMon: Unobtrusive Extraction of Smoking Topography Using Wearable Energy-Efficient Thermal

Smoking is the leading cause of preventable death worldwide. Cigarette smoke includes thousands of chemicals that are harmful and cause tobacco-related diseases. To date, the causality between human exposure to specific compounds and the harmful effects is unknown. A first step in closing the gap in knowledge has been…
