Who were their stakeholders?

Our stakeholders are anyone who has an invisible disability and wants others to be more aware of these invisible disabilities. Our users, however, are the people who are not very knowledgeable about invisible disabilities.

From our research, we have found that a large number (almost two thirds) of people in our community are not entirely comfortable talking to others about their invisible disabilities. We believe that this is due to a lack of understanding and sympathy in our community so they will be our main stakeholders.

Our goal is to raise awareness about invisible disabilities and let the community know about what people with invisible disabilities have to go through. In this way, we hope we can make a difference in people’s lives and make them feel more comfortable in this community.

How many people completed their interview survey online and who are they?

44 people, mostly the class of STEAM and a few other of our peers outside STEAM answered our survey online, and all of our interviews were done in person.

We interviewed 3 people. 2 people with invisible disabilities and 1 person that sees and helps people with these disabilities.

How many people did they interview face to face and their relation to the project?

We did three interviews in total, all of them face to face. Two of the interviews were done with people who have an invisible disability to provide information on our stakeholders. The last was done with the school nurse for her expertise in the subject.

Explain how their prototype uses technology in an innovative way.

Instead of choosing to do a purely technological prototype, we integrated the technological aspect in the form of an AR experience in a complementary way to our main prototype to enhance the experience of the user. We choose AR because it’s the most easily accessible for everyone.

Who did they seek feedback on their prototype from? How many people provided feedback and their relation to the prototype. E,g users?

We are yet to complete our prototype fully, however, once that is done we will gather feedback from our peers and stakeholders.

Even before that, we know what our prototype will look like so if there are any questions about that we can answer them. The whole process of this prototyping is on our Community projects site.

We will also be gathering feedback from the sales pitch that we do next STEAM lesson.

Document the feedback on their Community project website and provide a summary of the feedback and improvements they will take on from the feedback collected (This must be copied into the logbook to)

Unable to do that right now. But once we fully complete the prototype, we will be able to present it to stakeholders and ask for feedback. We will document the process on our website and link it into the logbook.
