Brainstorm


 * This is place where we can discuss our ideas. Please include your name.**

If those are the ideas that we've thought of that fit the "must haves" that we've decided upon, then in a way it is a combination of a bunch of our ideas that satisfy the values of innovation we're trying to give to visitors (in response to whoever orange is). I think we can either vote on one thing, where everyone agrees to commit to one idea and making it a success, or we can vote on 2 or 3 which we feel will be good, and then split our group up into smaller groups just to do a bit more prelim. work on each project -- because some projects are nice as ideas, but when we actually start to work on them, problems build up, or it's hard to do (or something). Any thoughts? (Andy)

Let's use this page for concrete ideas and things we've brainstormed as a group or things we need to do and then we can use the discussion tab for conversations. This will keep us more organized. How about that? (nura)

March 10th (nura) As we are expected to subit a proposal tommorrow and we have extensively brainstormed together as a group for several weeks, I think we have three options now. We can either pick one idea and run ith it, changing it as we go. We can keep brainstorming until we find something we all agree on. Or we could combine a bunch of our ideas and see what we get. What do you think? (please reply in the discussion!)

March 10th 2010 - I'll start off a list from memory. please add to it, particularly if you have our brainstorming sheet. If you want to comment on an idea, you can add your comment underneath the bullet in a different color. A cool picture for the brain idea..inspiration?
 * pulley system to move an object
 * challenge where you can only use certain senses to communicate with another person, with which you have to work to make something (with the screens and the options of what you can/can't use)
 * 'ant sized' world. (challenge perspective)
 * 'brain box' where somehting outside influences the conditions inside, changing the experience of the person inside
 * .....there were lots more!

March 7 2010 -- The march 5th brainstorm is good, it has most of the values that goes into the WFIC (the ones Christine was saying). Can whoever has the brainstorm sheets put up all the proposals we've made over this past week so we can review them? Just make one big list of names and a bit of a description in case people forget.

March 6th 2010-​ Conrad - I thought of an important aspect of successful/entertaining exhibits: it should __appeal to more than one of the 5 senses__. There is a "pixel wall" in kidspark, where you can physically push in small rods to create an imprinted picture. Even though it was simple, it combined the visual and kinesthetic aspect, which I think, made it appealing to people of all ages. Ask Reilly about it. She and a couple other people went crazy on it.

=March 5th 2010 Brain Storm= Must Haves: -Holds your attention -short and simple - freak out a little, pushing boundries -not be the same every time - nothing's wrong -more exploration, less order -realistic and practical

**NAN** : I'm pretty interested in robotics but not just the engineering side, i think the psychology (e.g. the uncanny valley phenomenon/hypothesis) and the philosophy (i.e. morality) sides of it are super interesting too. So this was my attempt at a brainstorm:

//BTW, if you guys want to make a bubbl.us account, we can collaborate our brainstorms on there i.e. you can edit mine, we can create a brainstorm together, etc.//




 * NAN** **:** I took a picture of Pt.1 of our "brainstorm" (Claire has Pt. 2, I'll get a pic of that on Monday). I don't know how useful this exactly is/how productive we were, butttt maybe you'll be "INSPIRED" by it. hahahaha.
