D. TECHNOLOGY PROTOTYPING
FOR FISHING,AGRICULTURE,
WOMEN, AND INDIGENOUS
PEOPLE
 -Technology prototyping can be a powerful
tool for improving the livelihoods of fishing
communities, farmers, women, and indigenous
people. Here are some examples of how
prototyping can be used to create technology
solutions for these groups:
 -A PROTOTYPE IS A TEST, OR ORIGINAL,
MODEL OF A PRODUCT OR A TECHNOLOGY
FROM WHICH IMPROVEMENTS, UPGRADES OR
FUNDAMENTAL CHANGES CAN BE MADE. IN
AREAS SUCH AS SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGY,
PROTOTYPES ARE PARTICULARLY USEFUL IN
IDENTIFYING ERRORS WHICH WILL LATER
HARM THE PRODUCT IF NOT RESOLVED AT
AN EARLY STAGE.
 -Media and information literacy
empowers people to think critically
about information and use of
digital tools. It helps people make
informed choices about how they
participate in peace building,
equality, freedom of expression,
dialogue, access to information,
and sustainable development.
 Fishing:
-Technology can be used to improve the
efficiency and sustainability of fishing practices.
For example, a prototype of a low-cost, low-power
sonar device can be used to help fishermen locate
schools of fish, reducing the time and resources
needed to catch them. Similarly, sensors can be
placed on fishing nets to detect when they are full,
reducing the need for manual monitoring.
Agriculture:
-Farmers can benefit from technology that helps
them optimize their use of resources such as water,
fertilizer, and pesticides. A prototype of a low-cost
soil sensor can be used to monitor soil moisture, pH,
and nutrient levels, allowing farmers to make data-
driven decisions about when and how much to irrigate
and fertilize their crops. Similarly, drones can be used
to monitor crop health, identify areas that need
attention, and even deliver targeted treatments.
Women:
-Women in developing countries face many challenges,
including limited access to education, health care, and economic
opportunities. Prototyping can be used to create technology
solutions that address these challenges. For example, a
prototype of a mobile health app can be developed to provide
women with access to health care information and resources.
Similarly, a prototype of a low-cost sewing machine can be
developed to enable women to start their own small businesses
and become more financially independent.
Indigenous people:
-Indigenous communities often face significant challenges
related to land rights, access to resources, and cultural
preservation. Prototyping can be used to create technology
solutions that help address these challenges. For example, a
prototype of a low-cost GPS mapping system can be developed to
help indigenous communities document and preserve their
traditional lands and resources. Similarly, a prototype of a mobile
language learning app can be developed to help preserve and
promote indigenous languages.
