Public Probes
By installing the designed posters in public spaces, the interactive features are expected to catch students’ attention and encourage them to participate in our research.
There are 3 different aspects of the public probes.
1. Proximity and Sense of Belonging - whether the distance and rent affect students’ participation in school events and further influence their sense of belonging.
2. Personality and Sense of Belonging - whether different personalities affect students’ willingness to socialize with others.
3. High Cost of Living and Sense of Belonging - whether the high cost of living regarding tuition, transportation, and so on affects their decision to participate in school/ social events.
Take Home Probes
