Ideas

=IDEAS FOR OUR WIFIC EXHIBIT TO DATE: =


 * BRAINSTORM SESSION #1**


 * 1. Lights that contain information **
 * Light beams (different combinations) that can make a video/image
 * With people walking through a tunnel maybe?
 * The tunnel can be sensitive to touch (the walls - for children)
 * Walk through with a smart phone > phone rings > a video starts/ a message pops up
 * Images correspond with path taken and/or speed > combine to form a stop animation
 * Colored (light-up) tiles for people to step on, which can indicate something that affects the story in a good or bad way
 * People can create their own avatar for the animation
 * Tracker instead of a phone? Or something that can detect both (so anyone can participate)?
 * RISK: choosing between paths - a possibility of a bad ending
 * CHALLENGE: Making a story with an infinite number of possibilities and/or question options that can give clues (i.e.: the red square does something interesting, don't step on the black square....)
 * Use your smart phone to control something and see what happens?
 * A password to get inside? (determined by answering questions)
 * START: Once upon a time......


 * 2. Music**
 * Make a song/ video using certain notes or sounds that correspond to certain images
 * Patterns?


 * 3. Something that spins or swings**
 * Spinning or swinging object = a result
 * Different speed = Different result


 * 4. Building**
 * Building something that results in the creation of something else ( A + B = C )
 * Blocks, lights and sound effects


 * 5. Sports**

BRANCING OFF THE TOPIC OF LIGHT, OPTICS AND SPACE: - Aurora borealis in space (build you own a.b and have it projected above for the next visitor) – understanding how it works - Going through a black hole or wormhole (teleportation) - Blackness - Nebulae - Light in space - BANG - BIG BANG? - Build a galaxy where everyone creates their own planet (select properties, races, conditions, etc.), which may be projected for everyone to see.

HOW CAN THE EXHIBIT LEAVE SOMETHING BEHIND OR TAKE SOMETHING WITH THEM?

INNOVATION

- Lots of brainstorming - Determine a theme

CAME UP WITH WIFIC MASCOT: reebokchoy2.

Visit: Planetarium (close to Kidspark) Look up: STAR WATCH (integrate phone?) - Citizen science

THINGS TO LEARN? - Stars are cool and light pollution is screwing up our view!

Go with the spirit of wific activity – let people design something that may or may not work, uses imagination.

Show them something cool, get them excited, and give them tools to mess around with it.
