 1. students present "Broken IT Probes"

Questions:

1. What is the meaning when IT products break?

2. Why people keep broken IT products?

3. How will the broken IT product become further broken? Can you imagine a  "kintsugi" style of your IT product in terms of material or metaphor? What if GAI can generate some samples for you?
