Notes:
Presented at the LIFT conference about the challenges and opportunities of technology in our society, Geneva, Switzerland, February 2007., Video of the presentation (21 minutes) describes a "hole in the wall" experiment in which a computer with an internet connection is put into a community with no instruction. Children learn through use of the internet. This file also contains a report explaining that the award-winning movie, Slumdog Millionaire, was inspired by the hole-in-the-wall project.

Notes:
Poster/paper published in proceedings of the American Society for Engineering Education annual conference and exposition, Salt Lake City, Utah. 2018, pages 1-15., Motivating, promoting interest in teaching engineering subjects is always a challenge for undergraduate engineering students especially for junior and lower level students. This approach also brought social awareness to members of the group, as well as tolerance and responsibility. It also emphasized to the students a tolerant and an open-minded world, now and forevermore. A group of multinational, multicultural undergraduate students at Salt Lake Community College, majoring in Civil, Mechanical, Electrical and Computer engineering are working on a project involving vertical farming, hydroponic watering, and making the plant growing process smart.
Food and its availability is of major concern in all nations, especially the underdeveloped communities. Students get exposed to different engineering disciplines, and learn how to work in a multicultural team and become socially responsible in an ever increasing connected world. Each student also becomes a teacher to other students at times discussing his specialty and field of engineering.
