__**LAB #2 - DESIGN FOR THE OTHER 90%**__
The MoneyMaker Block Press is designed to alleviate poverty for the project's stakeholders by providing them with a means to create blocks that can be used to create shelter. Instead of just giving them some form of shelter, this allows the stakeholders to construct cost-effective buildings like homes and school. By giving them the opportunity to learn and do it themselves, they have the ability to change their situation without the dependence of others.

The PermaNet is designed to help the stakeholders by reducing and preventing the spread of malaria. Malaria causes the death of millions of people living in rural and third world countries. PermaNet is coated with insecticide and uses a tight mesh size that kills mosquitoes. The mosquitos are the ones carrying the virus and through the blood transfer, it carries the illness between people. The net can continue to be effective for up to five years as long as it gets washed. It might not be friendly for the mosquitoes, but it is harmless to all people. Therefore, it is safe around children and safe for the environment.

The MoneyMaker Hip Pump is a lightweight pressure pump that is used to irrigate three-quarter acres of farmland. By designing this pump, it pulls water from ground and lifts it higher than the average height of the water source. The MoneyMaker Hip Pump helps alleviate poverty because it is enabling the stakeholders to increase the growth of their crops which leads to an increase in income. With an increase of income, they can support themselves and their families financially which will help people out of poverty.

The One Laptop Per Child is designed to bring technology to third world countries that would not originally get a chance to use them. Having this technology allows children to learn basic computer skills while sharing their knowledge with family and friends. It's built on the Linux OS which is free and open source operating system through many collaborations. The laptop is built in with many features like programs and games with a built in microphone for recording. They are also able to create their own programs and share them among each other to provide a higher level of education. It works with mesh computing, which works when at least one computer is connected to the internet. The laptop is virtually unbreakable and designed to last; therefore, it is worth the investment to promote education for children.

Sugarcane Charcoal is designed to alleviate poverty by providing an alternate energy source for the people. There are many negatives to burning firewood, beginning with the deforestation that would affect the people in the area. It uses the waste from sugarcane that can be found from their crops, which helps the stakeholders reduce the cost being spent on energy.

The Q Drum is a device that helps transports clean water from one area to another. The Q Drum can hold up to seventy-five liters of water and the shape and design makes it easy for people of every strength to use. It is created to be durable because it is meant to be rolled on the ground. Water is necessary for all people, so this design helps alleviate poverty by providing people with the necessity of clean water.

 * Question 2: How does stakeholder analysis enable sustainable and socially responsible design?**

By analyzing the point of view and opinions of the stakeholders, we are able to fully understand their wants and needs without the bias of other people. The analysis can help target the most important needs that will help developing countries sustain a better way of living. They can target the reasons behind certain needs and designers can specifically design for the stakeholders using materials easily accessible to them. What looks good on paper is not always what the people need, so making it easy for them is the reason why stakeholder analysis is needed.


 * Question 3: List five characteristics of socially responsible product design.**
 * Affordability
 * Promotes and preserves the environment and community
 * Durability
 * Simplistic and easy to use
 * Improves the quality of life
