Description

This workshop is to demo, interact and design clothes that are props of characters costumes from fairy tales. The collection of props aims to encourage interaction among participants, body movement and creativity, all issues identified from tools used in participatory design processes.

The interaction occurs from code sent to the LilyPad microcontroller that controls the pattern of LEDs stimulating children's creativity by encouraging the association of unusual elements like dragon's tail with butterfly wings or princess crown with hook and pirate belt. More unusual the combination is more bright will be the LED light. Once participants make combinations, the LEDs light up and shine in various patterns. With this, children are encouraged to think of characters that do not yet exist and create new narratives new worlds and narratives.

Agenda

It's a very flexible and loose workshop where participants would be able to experiment with the clothes and interactions the combinations they will make. They will explore ways to tell stories based on their new combinations.

Participants

As more people come we can put them together in small groups of 3 to 5 and let them explore the combinations together.

Outcome

It's an open project with creative commons license, so if someone want do the same project or create new characters in other countries they will be able too. Also, It's an amazing way to fight prejudice and make young people think of diversity in a very ludic and inclusive way and forms of expressing themselves.

This person has been chosen to attend with the Participation team as a MozFest Contributor. So they no longer require a stipend.

@marcwalsh I still need the stipend for the co-facilitator! This is very important that Maria Antonia Goulart goes to the event as she is the brain behind the session. I'm helping her to format to a session and I will help with the English part as she doesn't speak any English. I'm covered with the Mozfest Contributor stipend, but she still need that.

@dricupello as a stipend is a must for this session still, we can't host it in the youth zone so will remove our label so other spaces can consider your submission.

[thornet]

Maybe also for the arrival zone.

[dricupello]

Are you going to bring Maria Antonia with the stipend then?

[thornet]

No, at this time we don't have any more stipends to offer.
