ISTELive ContentThe session will begin with a 10-minute introduction on the impact of fast fashion, setting the stage for the need for the EcoFashion EDU app. Next, a 15-minute demonstration will showcase how students use Thunkable or MIT App Inventor to design and manage the app, including addressing design constraints and risks. Participants will then engage in a 20-minute hands-on activity where they will brainstorm and plan their own app features, applying research strategies to gather relevant information. Throughout, peer-to-peer interaction will be encouraged, with 5 minutes at the end for sharing ideas and feedback. Device-based activities will be integrated to enhance engagement, and a short quiz will conclude the session to reinforce learning outcomes.
