Cultural probe kit checklist

What to pack before you send a probe kit to participants

Checklist of what to put in a cultural probe kit, from a welcome letter and postcards to a camera shot list and a return plan
Use it to check a kit before you send it out

A ten-point checklist for building a cultural probe or design probe kit. It covers the welcome letter, the mix of tasks such as postcards, a camera shot list, a map and a short diary, consent for photos, and the return and check-in plan. Use it before you post kits to participants. Koji can run the follow-up interviews about what each person sends back.
