What did not work? What were the challenges?:
A major roadblock for us was communicating the potential of our interventions to the stakeholders and leaders of the community. We found that as we became well-versed in the potential of technology and design to revolutionize communication, it was hard for many of the people we were working with to understand what we were talking about. A major lesson for us and others taking on similar projects is to devote time and effort to explain your project in terms the stakeholders understand. Though we researched numerous examples of other communities using similar systems, and showed them the results of our clean up day test, it was difficult for some people to see how it could save time, they only saw the immense effort needed in our system to do the tasks of translation and publicity.
