An experimental interaction design/soft toy hacking workshop ran during Easter for a group of girls aged 8-11.

* This is the full version of 'Children's Arduino workshop'. See vimeo.com/groups/13084/videos/4187008 for quick overview.

    Metaphor: "Could you put it in it's head like a brain?"
    The joy of interactive art: "Ah, that's so cool!"
    The joy of conceptual art: "I love diagrams!"
    Hacking consumer devices: "We could just attach it to a remote control car."
    Developing scripts: "When sensor is deactivated by..."
    The frustration of similarity: "My idea was to do a walking dog!"

    There is so much here. This is like the entire media art scene rolled into one six-minute video.

    I met a six year old yesterday who owns her own palm pilot, was learning Adobe Illustrator and knew what the words opaque, transparent and translucent meant.

    Kyle, don't forget the "Yes, but what does it signify?" !
  • Kyle McDonald plus 2 years ago
    Oh yeah, I'm always forgetting that one... :) Reminds me of a recent hackaday post: "Why don’t artists just say they did it because it looks cool?"

    Very interesting and exciting. While I think the Arduino is a great piece of hardware, most of the stuff the kids wanted to do seemed simple enough to do without a microprocessor, and could be done with 5 dollars worth of components instead of a $35 processor programmed by a $300+ computer. I only say this because if you were trying to do this in a larger group, the costs add up fast.

    This is great!

    - So you can program it!!? Told you you can program sequences into it!

    Seems like we'll become obsolete faster than any other generation ever lived.

    This is awesome. Its great that the new generations are learning how the world they interact with actually works rather than just using it. I think most kids would find this very fun as well.

    Very cool project :)
