As a result, they spent considerable time in the first twoweeks of their project visiting the women’s collective and talking with its members about theirneeds.However, the research, including several collaborative workshops planned with the localcommunity organization to better align with local interests, was cut short when the students hadto pack up and return home abruptly. As a result, they had to shift the project’s trajectory,working remotely to develop digital resources instead of working on-site to design and buildsomething physical that the women’s collective could use. The changes they implementedincluded using digital graphics and online meetings with a
