Journal Entry For

Goal: Cleaner more inviting space, we want more students to use and care for the kitchenettes.

How can we design the kitchenettes to accomplish this change in behavior?

Sanitization issues are caused by a lack of accountability and responsibility for food and dishes. We want to change this behavior by encouraging people to clean and take care of the kitchen.

We can encourage people to clean by making the task easier.

How could the solutions we find expand to other areas, such as our home kitchens.
