The Tag Project was featured in the Spring 2013 edition of the Current Design Research Journal.
Design students were asked to collaborate with children with special learning needs to create an interactive textile-based artifact or system that would encourage sustainable practices within Kenneth Gordon Maplewood School. The resulting design would be gifted to KGMS and its students for implementation in their school.

This work represents the development and use of methodologies that serve to engage a hard to reach user-group. The outcome of these interactions revealed insightful information about the physical and psychological effects of drug use on both the immediate experience and the long term development of an individual entrenched in hard substance abuse. The value of this information lies in its potential to inform the physical environment of a facility that meets the specific needs of this user group.
