Reading, Analysis and Writeup
This week, we are learning about value sensitive design. In this reflection activity, each team will first describe what they learned through the envisioning card exercise, how they redesigned their imaginary technology using these lessons learned. Second, each team must choose one article from the VSD Reading List below to read and summarize, then describe how the methodologies, ideas or findings from that article could be applied to their project.
Your writeup on Overleaf should be 2 pages in total. In your writeuup, look for a few other resources (e.g., papers, podcasts, videos) that discuss value sensitive design, and include them as citations in your writeup. Please use this
overleaf template for all writeups.

Presentation
Next week, your team will prepare a 20 minute presentation and lead a 5 minute discussion. During the presentation, you should present the selected article and how the methodologies or ideas in the article can be applied to your project (15 minutes), and the results from your envisioning card exericse, i.e., what cards did you discuss and how you re-designed your imaginary technology based on these discussions (5 minutes).
