Project overview
A campus food-waste chatbot concept developed through design thinking, vendor insights and feasibility analysis.
FoodBot is a campus food-waste chatbot concept developed through design thinking, vendor insights and feasibility analysis. It explores preparation guidance for vendors and better disposal decisions for students and staff, using time, location, waste patterns and academic-calendar context. It is a proposal, not a deployed service or a measured waste-reduction outcome.
Inside this build
- Analysed campus food-waste patterns and operational gaps in existing approaches.
- Considered vendors, cleaners and consumers when framing the system-level problem.
- Applied the S.P.I.C.E. framework to investigate behavioural drivers.
- Developed personas and a low-effort chatbot interaction concept.
- Outlined preparation guidance, disposal prompts and behavioural nudges.
- Connected the proposal to responsible consumption and campus sustainability goals.
