Replanting

[3220672]

After I read the results I found that connection is a key element for growth and confidence. Another interesting but unexpected result finds that parents would like to couple children to interact or exchange stuff with. 

In collaboration with INTERACTION DESIGN I created an app to look for hobby’s and likeminded people. The key aspect is to explore yourself whilst getting in touch with people who have similar interests. 

[3220672]

How to get in touch with my target audience?

QUESTIONS:

For parents:

Which toys have a positive effect on your child and how does this show?

Which toys have a negative effect on your child and how does this show?

In what kind of situations do you sense that your child is lacking confidence? 

Which toys do you think could support your child’s development/increase his/her confidence?

What toys or other tools could support you in your parenting?

What kind of attitude are you missing in the toy market?

For professionals:

What are common causes for insecurities in young children?

What methods are used to treat self esteem in children in psychology? 

How can parents help children with a lack of confidence?

How can toys play an important role in this process?

Are there examples of toys used in this situation?

After refining these questions with Janine I shared them on social media in parenting and general groups:

Hello everyone,

I'm working on an art project regarding toys for children between the age of 5-10 years old. I'd love to know your experiences!

If you'd like to help, please fill in the anonymous (and pretty short) questionaire below:

For parents, caretakers, grandparents, baby sitters etc: https://forms.gle/NpcP543fJaVBmtTA6

For professionals (children's psychologists, doctors): https://forms.gle/QbGtD2iaEkPTajRw6

Thank you very much in advance!

Design thinking

Empathise to help define the problem (define)

Define

Ideate making things sharp with the questions

Prototype to learn to spark new ideas 

Test reveal the insights that redefine the problem (define) / learn about users through testing (emphasise) / create new ideas for the project (ideate)

// Stakeholder mapping (didn’t explain)

[3220672]

What is your design challenge?

Young children are impressionable; easily influenced by what they see and hear, especially by digital media. My goal is to create personalised objects that are based on the child’s identity but exaggerated in an entertaining and educational matter. 

// stuffed animals, books or apps

I’m growing two indigo plants! I chose a sun appropriate spot for my babies. I hope I can keep these ones alive. (real pic following soon)

For some reason my account doesn’t exist?????? so for the sake of time I collaborated with Lorenzo on assignment 3.

[3220672]

Assignment 2

[3220672]

Assignment 1: What is the difference between the variable types: ‘int’ and 'long’ in Arduino language?

‘Int’ has a smaller range with a minimum value of -2^15 and a maximum value of (2^15) -1.

‘long’ has a longer range and stores 32 bits (4 bytes), from -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647.
