Co-design Preperation

Design Stage;

So since I now have a date for my workshop I decided that I should probably get prepared for what it is I am going to do with the children so that I have everything planned in advance.

So for the first task I think I will do something along the lines of a simple colourblind test to show them what the tests look like and how they work, also this gives me a chance to maybe see if there are any children that are colourblind in the class.  The issue with this task is that I will need the schools permission to do this and they will probably need to get parental consent for this type of task, but if this is allowed then that means it would be good for statisical research.

The second task I think will be allowing the children to create the characters that may make appearances in the story so that they can have their creations in the story.  This will be a good chance to show them the process that designers go through when it comes to creating applications for them and allows them to be apart of the story book more than just playing with it as a game.

For the final task I will be probably trying to get the children to help me create the story by choosing things like the name of the town, how the evil Doctor takes away the colours and why.  By doing this it helps me create a story from a childs point of view and then the application will be something created by children for children.
