As someone living next to the factory,

I want to mark the location and upload photos as evidences,

So that I can report the illegal factory to be demolished.

• Milestones
• Fork and merge
• Modularize
• Clear user story

🥳 Motivation & Empowerment

For developers:

• Fun & Open source

Your turns!

How to scope a problem to solve for advocacy?

How to prototype the ideas for the next step?

45

1.

Scoping

Let’s start with the first set of slides

46

Identify what to solve

towards which direction

• Advocacy goals
• One problem in advocacy
• One goal for a potential solution:�How might we ___________ ?

​

• What resources do we have?
• What resources/knowledge we don’t know yet?

47

For example, in Disfactory phase I

• Advocacy goals:
• One problem in advocacy:
• Many who want to report are stopped due to personal safety concerns and technical difficulties.
• Very hard for NGO to verify, organize, and scale up the reports
• One goal for a potential solution:�How might we build a convenient and anonymous reporting platform to lower the reporting barrier and aggregate data from civic participation ?

48

For example, in Disfactory phase II

• Advocacy goals:
• Stop the government from postponing�the 2 year legal registration window
• One problem in advocacy:�Advocacy needs social media campaigns to pressure the government, but rural users who reported a factory don’t want others to know they engage in the issue.
• One goal for a potential solution:�How might we create viral social media campaigns outreaching new audience and engage more citizens in the data collection in Disfactory?

49

Identify what to solve

towards which direction

• Advocacy goals
• One problem in advocacy
• One goal for a potential solution:�How might we ___________ ?

50

Name-Org-issue

• Advocacy goals
• One problem in advocacy
• One goal for a potential solution:�How might we ___________ ?

51

2.

Prototyping

What is the next small step to test your ideas?

52

Minimal Viable Actions

to build a prototype

For instance…

• Drawing wireframe
• Paper prototype
• Survey form
• Searching for existing tools
• Calling a meeting
• And more~~~

53

Bravo!

Looking forward to your projects.

Transition headline

Let’s start with the first set of slides

59

Quotations are commonly printed as a means of inspiration and to invoke philosophical thoughts from the reader.

60

‘’

This is a slide title

• Here you have a list of items
• And some text
• But remember not to overload your slides with content

​

Your audience will listen to you or read the content, but won’t do both.

61

Big concept

Bring the attention of your audience over a key concept using icons or illustrations

62

You can also split your content

White

Is the color of milk and fresh snow, the color produced by the combination of all the colors of the visible spectrum.

Black

Is the color of ebony and of outer space. It has been the symbolic color of elegance, solemnity and authority.

63

In two or three columns

Yellow

Is the color of gold, butter and ripe lemons. In the spectrum of visible light, yellow is found between green and orange.

Blue

Is the colour of the clear sky and the deep sea. It is located between violet and green on the optical spectrum.

Red

Is the color of blood, and because of this it has historically been associated with sacrifice, danger and courage.

​

64

A picture is worth a thousand words

A complex idea can be conveyed with just a single still image, namely making it possible to absorb large amounts of data quickly.

65

Want big impact?

Use big image.

66

Use charts to explain your ideas

And tables to compare data
