Design Mobile Application for Teaching Children Food-Related Waste Sorting

The increasing food-related waste leads to serious social and the environmental problem. While teaching children waste sorting could effectively reduce the waste. This research aims to explore the design strategies of intelligent interactive application for teaching children food-related waste sorting. This research generally followed a ‘research through design’ process: several design principles are generalized by case studies and literature review as well as Delphi method, then a diet diary was designed as a culture probe to identify the children’s daily behavior related to waste. Based on the feedback, we prototyped the application and tested the validity of the design principles.
