Remember those origami-like paper things called paper fortune tellers or cootie catchers?
Each flap has a "fortune" or message, and after a series of picking colors and numbers, the player picks one of these flaps to see what it is.
How might we reconstruct this?
This incredible experience from the Imagination Foundation invites kids to build things from cardboard. Less "design under constraints," this is more of an open-ended invitation to be creative and make whatever you want.
A variety of helpful resources from Gamestar Mechanic.
Scratch has all kinds of getting started guides, activity cards, video tutorials, and community resources at this site.
The Marshmallow Challenge, from Tom Wujec, is a “remarkably fun and instructive design exercise that encourages teams to experience simple but profound lessons in collaboration, innovation and creativity.”
I’ve done this activity with both kids and adults and had fantastically rich (and fun) experiences with design thinking around it.
This make is a screen cast explaining the process of app smashing that I used to create an animated video remix, using my own video footage.
This video uses my “un” troduction from make cycle #1 to (re)mediate one artifact into something new.
I created an unintroduction video with name tags from conferences.
My re-mediate will move from course literature to PowerPoint, from a presentation to Khan-Academy-style digital storytelling in an interactive online lesson with the add-in called OfficeMix.
Picking up on Chad Sansing’s prompt to choose the last 10 of something. I decided to use the last 10 pictures I took on a recent trip to Spain. On my last night in Sevilla I saw a Flamenco show. During the show we were asked to be very quiet. Yet, throughout the show an older Spanish speaking woman would call out, making the performers laugh and interact with her. The only time we were permitted to take picture was the last 5 minutes. As we began to do this they invited the woman onto the stage and engaged her in dance. It was a great way to end my trip.
I used two different apps to collage the images and then re-color the collage. Taking the original images along with both collage images, I doubled up on remediation by creating an Animoto video with Flamenco music.
