The easiest part of this exercise was curating the ideas. Almost all of the ideas were in some form in a sketchbook or my Evernote account, but it was a little challenging trying to boil down the abstract concepts to a slide’s worth of information. The hardest part was grouping the domain maps. Looking at them now, I’d like to go back and try to collect them into one diagram and see the differences and connections between each of those domains. Right now I don’t think they’re as insightful as they might be if I were to condense them.
My 2 favorite concepts are the Electromyographic interface and the Play Code idea. The former, because I’m excited to explore the idea of a physical connection manifesting itself on a digital interface, and the latter because I’m interested in teaching younger generations coding principles with games and seeing how that can effect the absorption of knowledge for further skill sets.
My 2 least favorite concepts are the Cappi-chuino and the Grown-Up Piggy bank. The former because arduino shields already exist, and though I think this would be fun, it’s not necessarily that original, I mostly just like the way Cappi-chuino sounds when you say it. The Grown-Up Piggy bank doesn’t necessarily interest me because I’ve already attempted working with it and APIs for banking information aren’t very accessible.
