Visualization 

 Challenge : 

 As a participant of the district level Science exhibition , I had the task in hand of coming up with a science   project idea . The project scope included an idea about scientific solution or technique of managing the   pollutant emission from industries as well as vehicles by either reducing the emission or using it for   some constructive purpose . The project can be a non - working project which just displays the idea and   hence limits the budget . We were a team of 4 members and it was necessary for each of us to   understand various environmental issue and gain consensus on a single issue to stick to for building the   project and collectively derive the plan for building the project . Also the project should comply with   basics laws of science and there was a deadline of 20 days . 

 Selection : 

 The first tool I used was Visualization . Visualization is a Design Innovation technique that helps , using   graphics , to create a virtual simulation in one ’s mind and tells the story . Basically , it ’s a step by step   approach of connecting dots . 

 As it would have been useless to move randomly with the ideas and start building a project without an   end to end visual image of process flow and as a result incur additional cost by scrapping the project if   the idea fails , Visualization helped to gain proper understanding of the environmental problems through   constructive imagination and select one problem from it for the project and then use it to further   visualize the structure of our project . Also , constant feedback from each member visual understanding   can help in incorporating various minor and major drawbacks in implementation of the structural idea of   the process for the project . We used a set of questions before gaining confidence in one idea to make   sure we consider every possibility of the process implementation . 

 Application : 

 We started the process by noting down various pollutants present in the emissions from industries and   vehicles and their effects . Wherever we were unable to gain an insight or needed further information ,   we consulted some environmental management mentors from few institutes . The pollutants list   included Sulphur which depletes ozone layer , Nitrous and carbon compounds which are harmful for   breathing . After jotting down everything , the final effect which came up was continuously increasing   temperatures due to greenhouse effect caused due to excess atmospheric carbon dioxide . Next ,   everybody imagined about the various effects of increasing heat on the planet and each member   created sticky notes of their views . Once all the notes were in front of everybody , it helped the members   to consider a prominent effect which can be converted to one ’s advantage . That was vaporization of   water which , if produced in a significant amount , has enough energy to run a small turbine to produce   enough electricity to light a small bulb . 

 Once the process flow was visualized , a basic flow chart was drawn which included the major processes   required from end to end . 

 After that we assigned individual process to each member . We created 4 columns , in the order of   process flow previously decided , on the vision board , representing the target process assigned to each   member . Then each column was provided with constraints , effects , solution and remarks field . One   could either write or use sticky notes for their columns . After each idea formation and validation using 

 some questionnaire like 1 ) . Does it follow the basic law of nature ? 2 ) . Is the material for its construction   available ? 3 ) . What is the approximate cost incurred for its construction ? 4 ) . What will be the size of it ?   etc . , its possibility of connecting the flow to the subsequent process was ensured . If the flow was not   possible , modification in the idea was undertaken and again validated through questionnaire . Once the   entire process flow and its construction idea was formulated , each member was allowed to provide their   input and query for the overall process . After that a computerized labelled diagram and simulation was   prepared using animation software . This helped each member to get a visual image of the final project   construction and task needed to achieve it as well as precautions to be considered while construction of   the project . 

 Insight : 

 The major insight gained from this activity was that graphical representation is very essential to develop   the thinking process in a clear and understanding manner as well as it helps in eliminating design defects   through subsequent feedback process , finally resulting into a compelling product . The solution to a   challenge initiated with almost close to zero information gradually starts to develop using the step by   step visualization thinking . A significant rule one can follow in design thinking visualization is to always   consider the cause and effect of an idea into consideration and continuously validating the idea using   questionnaire . It saves huge number of random moves and keeps the team from deviating the target   vision and process flow . 

 Instead of moving randomly with loads of ideas and solutions , visualization tool helps in moving in well   organized pattern thus eliminating extra effort . Also , it helps in identifying the root cause as well as   potential root cause of any problem occurred during the implementation stage . Also , it helps in   identifying lack of information and data . 

 As an alternate approach , one may use various virtual visualization tools available to save time and   increase efficiency in idea generation as these tools automatically takes under consideration various   parameters and aspects connected to the idea according to the fed data dynamically displays the results   which serves as a feedback for modification in the idea formation .

### Task: You are a PII (Personal Identity Information) Detection. Given a essays written by students, you have to identify ONLY the following:
NAME_STUDENT - The full or partial name of a student that is not necessarily the author of the essay. This excludes instructors, authors, and other person names.
EMAIL - A student’s email address.
USERNAME - A student's username on any platform.
ID_NUM - A number or sequence of characters that could be used to identify a student, such as a student ID or a social security number.
PHONE_NUM - A phone number associated with a student.
URL_PERSONAL - A URL that might be used to identify a student.
STREET_ADDRESS - A full or partial street address that is associated with the student, such as their home address.
