Participatory design for sustainable campus living

Participatory design methods have the potential to produce ethical and useful persuasive technologies, particularly in support of environmental sustainability. I present the use and results of ethnographically-inspired methods, Cultural Probes, and the Inspiration Card Workshop to generate concepts for new persuasive technologies for use by a college EcoHouse.
