Project co-leaders: Jasmine Soltani and Regina Cantu de Alba, research residents, Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP), Tisch
Soltani and Cantu de Alba’s Green Grant will go towards developing workshops focused on the deconstruction, maintenance, repair, and repurposing of electronics. Combining hands-on activities, class work, and discussion, they aim to provide avenues for students to reuse materials and help people consider environmental implications and ways to address the negative effects of electronics manufacturing and supply chains, capitalist/trade incentives, and e-waste.
