Passing on items is a means, and not an end. In my concept however, passing on items is only used to create a moment for reflection. Hence the importance of spreading cards and acts. With Boom Boom Cards, the objective is to create a social revolution. My concept offers a personal way to find happiness, by trying out and learning from new experiences (active experimentation and reflective observation). Boom Boom Cards aim to create social change through the spreading of acts of kindness. I’ve had the joy of conducting a Skype interview with the creators of Boom Boom Cards, and that has taught me two things: First of all, when looking closely at my concept, it is much different from Boom Boom Cards than I thought it was at first. The concept has taken a new direction, as you can see in my storyboard. Additionally, I have created a LinkedIn group that you may join if you wish to be part of our network and/or if you are interested in collaboration: I’ve turned things around a bit. If you’re interested in this project, note that I will post regular project updates on this blog. Pieter and I have assembled a core team of enthusiastic and talented happiness pioneers, which I will introduce to you later. We are setting up the experiment as we speak, so I cannot share any findings as of yet. In the upcoming months we will host an experiment on Delft University of Technology, where we want to measure the effects of Tinytask. I am immensely proud and grateful for this opportunity to further develop my thesis project. And amazingly, one of the first projects that the DIOPD will support is Tinytask. Pieter Desmet – my graduation mentor and associate professor at Delft university of Technology – has founded the Delft Institute of Positive Design, an institute which’ goal is to stimulate the development of knowledge that can aid designers in their efforts to design for human flourishing. An exciting time lies ahead, here’s how the opportunity arose. Incoming! It has some time, but as of tomorrow I will pick up where I left off and start the further development of Tinytask. Finally there’s me, but that’s rather obvious. They both study the master Design for Interaction at Delft University of Technology, and you can spot them in the photos below. Then we have our two research assistants: Hester and Muryani. Maria has a lot of experience with experimental research, and her knowledge was instrumental in setting up the research. Pieter initiated this project and was my graduation mentor, so he was involved with Tinytask right from the start. First of all there are Pieter Desmet and Maria Saaksjarvi, both associate professors at Delft University of Technology ( read more about them here). Our research team consists of five people. I cannot disclose any details about the exact research setup now, but I will do so once we’ve analyzed the data. They will finish the experiment next week, and then we will start compiling all the results. Sorry to keep you in the dark, but we’ve been working in secret! 🙂įor the past five weeks, over 100 students have been participating in our research.
