Throughout the week, students will engage in early and easy making processes. They will address the experiences of these things through the body. Each student will move through: - Lo-fi version of their project/concept - Different time scales - Move from speculation to have a component of reality for their concept. On the final day, students will present their experiences by means of videos. **Keywords: Making with Magic Machines, 1st Person Research** ### Learning Objectives In the course, students will experience the design process from a 1st person perspective by means of a series of interventions in their own life, with their own community. They will learn how to: - Do quick lo-fi prototyping sessions - Ideate through making with - Apply 1st Person Research to their projects - Document and communicate 1st Person Research through videos - Reflect on the personal implications their projects imply ### Materials For the first day (Tuesday) please bring materials for tinkering like paper, old stuff, cardboard, textiles, scissors, tape, etc... ## Schedule === "31/10" **10:00 to 14:00** *In-person* **Activities**: 30 min intro, 2,5 hours workshop, make a companion, 30 min debate, 10 min challenge for Thursday (living with your companion, explore documentation process). === "02/11" **10:00 to 13:00** *In-person* **Activities**: 1 hour “Presentations” living with your companion and discussion about what they learned. 1 hour presentation from Angella (Green Screen and Solar Ears) and discussion. 1 hour planning a 1PP design intervention in relation to your area of interest. **17:00 to 19:00** *On-line and/or in-person* **Activities**: feedback session (checkpoint). === "03/11" **15:00 to 19:00** *In-person* **Activities**: Final video presentations and debate. ## Deliverables - Presentation - Video - Reflection ## Grading Method Class discussion and questions (formative), personal feedback (formative), attendance and participation (summative), deliverables including presentation and video (summative), personal reflections (summative). | Percentage | Description | | ----------- | ------------------------------------ | | 20% | Participation | | 40% | Deliverables | | 40% | Personal reflections | !!! ects "European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS)" {{ ects }} ECTS ## Additional Resources [Desjardins, A., Tomico, O., Lucero, A., Cecchinato, M.
