- definitely want to tackle 8-12yo... so has to be enough for young, but cool enough for the older kids
- Open lab has already done some stuff for them.. they've made a character that will go on the wall, and make it work like "operation" where you put the plants on the map of the body where it would "heal" you.
- Need to get the balance between "medicine is good for you" and... not popping them all in your mouth.
- Food and medicine
- Fibre... ropes, fabric etc
What they've noticed about kids:
they rely on their hands to touch, and smell etc
The found it most effective to adapt to the different ways kids learn. Often the kids are hesitant at first, but once their friends are doing it, they all want to get involved.
They like turning boring tasks into something exciting.
The want the timeless vibe, so it can span across generations. Culturally relevant for now, but also relevant in the years to come. Sustainability...
They want the knowledge that the kids have learnt to be sustained.
different learning types:
physical, learn through doing, building, creating
visuals, learn through seeing etc
verbals,
logical
social
solitary
- Teachers don't just teach them, they facilitate their learning.
- goal setting, encourage, give kids sense of ownership over what they're doing
- cross curriculum teaching, blending all the subjects together, help the kids go deeper with what they're doing
- counter-intuitive learning
will there always be someone on sight? Needs to be something kids can do on their own, but workers should be there.
