Hi Folks, I forgot to do this before, but we are supposed to present our work before Steve tomorrow at 2 pm at DGP seminar room. I wonder if you can prepare slides on your work so that you can talk for 10-15 mins? Steve loves ethnography and he will like to hear your fieldwork and what you saw there.

Tushar - your fieldwork on stigma 4. Rifat - Your work in Mosques To keep the presentation short and simple, you can follow this: 1. title - 1 slide 2. your intro - 1 slide 3. project name and objectives - 1 slide 4. fieldsite - 1 slide 5. your methods - 1 slide 6. interesting findings - 3 most interesting findings in 3 slides (each with a picture and a quote) 7. theories - 1/2 slide (major theory that you are using in analysis) 8. future work - 1 slide 9. thanks - 1 slide Please use this google folder to upload your sildes: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1tt9axqFL9UYAgkBbAKjpaemLhVtJXgAD?us… Please confirm to me soon that you are presenting.

Yasaman and her team have become the Hackathon for Education ( https://puebloscience.org/hackathon/) which took place today! They have developed a prototype that are supposed to be deployed in Guyana for science education! Here is some text I copied from her email to me a while ago - "The challenge of this hackathon was to build a robotics-based science activity kit for high school students in Guyana that: - Clearly teaches one or more science or engineering concept(s) listed in the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) and Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination (CAPE) syllabi. - Can be taught, performed, and discussed by teachers and their students within two or three 90-minute instructional periods. - Uses only materials that can be purchased or easily ordered in Guyana and in total cost less than $20 CAD per kit for re-useable kits or $5 CAD per kit for non-reuseable kits. - Is hands-on and interactive (and fun!). - Satisfies the definition of “robotics activity”. " Congratulations, Yasaman! We are so proud of you!

CHI papers: Method section requires mentioning of ethics
by Ishtiaque Ahmed 20 Sep '19

20 Sep '19

CHI authors - This time CHI wanted the authors to mention if the study protocol was approved by the ethics board, which for all our papers, is true. So, at the end of the methods section, we all can add the following line - "The protocol of this study was examined and approved by the ethics review board of the authors' institutions."

by Joseph Jay Williams 18 Sep '19

No grad students applied for 20-30 TA contract that will let them consolidate their HCI methods skills? Genuinely interested in user feedback as to why not, please email me with ideas. E.g. Not sure if you have background? Didn't see this email? Applied but didn't cc me? seems like a great chance to get paid to put together resources on things like interviewing and design.We will make these available to DGP after! If there is some chance you might be interested, just put application on by tomorrow, we can discuss after CHI!
