Task 12
We were able to define our goals and can base decisions on those goals. We are confident that this project will bring a clear message and will remain in the minds of readers in the long term. This project makes us more and more curious and we are glad to have chosen such a diverse topic.
Unfortunately, we had problems with our collaboration partner from Sweden. After several unanswered emails, we felt that we should take our experience with him and put our energy into other collaboration partners from now on. We are looking forward to our final result!
We want to double check our text, when it‘s finished. At the moment we are not finished. As soon as the text is ready, we will give it to our parents to check.
We definitely learned a lot about our topic. We imagined the teamwork to be easier. Since this project is very important to us, we wanted to invest a lot of time. But the project isn't that important for our collaborations partner, that is why they sometimes needed very long to answer. We learned a lot of new things about the ecological building and we had very good conversations.
We realised that many factors contribute to building ecologically. The cost and time aspect is also in the foreground in ecological building.
We are very satisfied with our project and we have met great new people and established a super collaboration with them. It was also very exciting that these collaborations go beyond our own country and that we can compare two countries.

We are still putting the individual components together so that the project is slowly completed. As soon as this is completed, we will give our project to our family and friends for review.

Today I focused on getting my data toghether for publishing it on dontwastemyenergy.
I will make an image collection and list of what I still have to photograph myself (since I have my own photo studio and photograph as a part-time job). In addition I should come up with a solution for the interview transcripts - since the interview is quite long.
Photos I still need:
- Header image
- Pictures of Ada Lovelace
Task 13
In this post we would like to show you where our collaboration partners are located. We are very happy that we have found partners all over the globe. This way we can incorporate even more different knowledge into our project.More...
Goats, blockchain and the future of money (Video, ted.com)
by Fariel Salahuddin
What if smallholder farmers could use their produce and livestock to pay for goods and services? TED Fellow and alternative currency enthusiast Fariel Salahuddin is working to make this a reality in places including rural Pakistan, where basic necessities like water and electricity are often expensive or inaccessible. She explores how the way we exchange value has evolved over time -- from bartering to blockchain -- and shares a new perspective on currency that promotes self-reliance for farmers and creates a more inclusive economy.
I have recieved some recommendations on where to learn how to code / how to self study during my interviews.
These are a few of their recommendations:
