1.I identified a design situation and it is to help the community recycle more so that they are helping the world and they also recycle in the proper bins and it would only take them a little bit of time! The needs to solve this problem is to get more recycling bins in the community and also advertise it more so that people know that this is happening. Also they could have a big place where everybody gather's around and recycles everything. They could also have a small fine for people who don't do the recycling so they learn a lesson and then they start doing the recycling in the future. Solving this problem is mainly for a particular community which is the Springs community so that they are contributing to recycling and they are trying to save their own lives and helping the entire world. I am going to have to make the project on Scratch and the problems I am going to face is to make different scenes and how to make it look realistic to the world and also like have it in different steps.

2.The nature of this problem is how people don't actually use the recycling bins properly and they put the wrong things in the wrong bins and as well as doing that some people don't even recycle and it's producing more waste in the world which could lead to a worse future and also more global warming. This is a problem for the world and it would lead to many bad things ahead of us and to help it people would have to just contribute a little bit and start recycling so you can start it from a community in whole. This problem is occurring all around the world today and people can't be bothered to move and recycle their waste which is a really easy thing to do. The cause of the problem is that in some places there are no recycling bins and sometimes people do not even know what recycling is so it just creates more bad things in the world.

3.I am mainly going to target a whole community which is springs! The techniques I will use to do this project is by putting posters all around the community so that people know more about recycling and I will also hold an event every weekend so that people come to it and recycle everything that they need to. I would also ask some people to maybe make a machine where if they recycle they will get a little bit of money for doing so people will be more encouraged. Also if people do it more and even the government know about it they will make a law where if you don't recycle every 2 weeks at least you would get a fine. I will also interview many people in the community and ask them on how much they recycle in about a month and I will also do a survey on different families and how much they recycle in a month so people can see the difference after this project. I will also observe how many people recycle every weekend and see how many people come in the future weeks. I will also take pictures every week to see the bin on how people have improved in recycling over a few weeks.

4.The questions that need to be answered to solve the problem:

Is there any way in which the community can communicate with each other online?

Is there any way the community can hold a recycling event?

When people don't recycle is there any way they can get in trouble or get a fine?

Is there any way we could find out how many people recycle?

The data that needs to be collected is how many people recycle per week and how much of waste is recycled every week

The data will be sourced from a survey website called survey monkey and I will make the survey!

The sources will mainly be Primary sources but I will try using a few secondary sources as well.

The sources that are essential are the surveys and writing letters to the people of the community and observing users interacting within the situation.

The secondary sources I will use is viewing videos on how to help recycling in the community.

SWOT analysis Backpack – Frameless
Strengths The strengths of my project will be that I am very good at communicating my ideas to public and I will be able to reach it out to the whole community by creating a survey asking the questions and also posting my scratch project showing how recycling will help the world and I will be posting the entire thing on a Facebook community page and if there are any websites for the community I could post it there as well to raise awareness.	Weaknesses The weaknesses of my project will be that I am not very good at using scratch and It would be hard to find out how to make a scratch project the way I want it. It would also be hard for me to find the themes that I would want for my scratch project and I would also need to find out   how to make it all happen at one time without anyone having to do anything. I would also have to make it attractive so people are bothered to watch and it would be a good way to raise the awareness.
Opportunities The opportunities that I would have with this project would be that it would not only be able to influence my community but it would also be able to influence other communities so that they could start recycling as well. I could then also go to schools in Dubai and they would start recycling more and once it becomes really famous it could go to Dubai municipality and then also be used around the entire world! With the data that I collected by giving people that live in Springs or Meadows i found out that not many people recycle that much and some people do not even recycle. Some people don't know how not recycling could affect our environment and what risks it could have in the future. Only 1 person who lives in springs or meadows recycled 6 bags every week. All the other people recycled less than 4 bags which is not good for the community and the environment. Now I know that recycling is not very popular in the community and now I need to raise awareness so that they are able to recycle more and know the good or bad effects.	Threats Some of the threats that I could face During this project would be that people would misuse the video and use it for doing other things and also the surveys they would not answer them properly and do bad things with it. Another threat would be that nobody would want to look at my project and no one would want to do recycling and would just be forgotten in the community.
