Student Prototypes of resource-sharing platforms for the commons
In the fall semester of 2023, students of the minor Het internet is stuk, maar we gaan het repareren, were asked to explore and design resource-sharing platform for the commons. The goal is to make a wide choice of electric cars and other forms of electric shared driving available in the neighborhood. When car owners switch to shared driving, parking spaces will be eliminated, and more space will be created in the neighborhood.”
Digital enablers -apps- for sharing and managing community resources
In the last semester of 2022, students received an assignment to develop technology-based instruments that can support communities to share and manage their collective resources. This resulted in four apps in the domains of sharing food, spaces, mobility and “things”.
Horison, a dashboard and app for the promotion of C02 neutral living.
In May 2020 Students of the minor User Experience Design were involved in a Circulate student project. They were asked to engage a fictional community in balancing energy usage and production by visualising the (private and collective) usage and availability of energy.
Solar Trade, an energy dashboard and energy sharing marketplace promoting sustainable energy usage.

An interactive light system and dashboard for a Sustainably Powered Kitchen
In 2020, Circulate collaborated with a group of students from the HvA Master Digital Design on a 4-week design project, which had Enki Energy as its main client. For this assignment, the students were asked to create a data visualisation tool that facilitated the use and maintenance of the Enki Energy’s biodigester used in a communal kitchen at a housing complex in Amersfoort.
