The second week of our journey started with a realy nice Makey Makey workshop by Loes. We learned how to create realy different interfaces and ways to use our body as a way to control devices.
We also did a design research workshop by Charlie Mulholland wich gave us insight in stakeholders and ways to get a clear problem definition. Good stuff!
Next up was a short visit to Little Chicken Game Company, http://www.littlechicken.nl/. We had the chance to see them test a game with children from 6 to 10 years old. The game was made for Cinekid and we also got to meet our assigners there. They set up a special room to test a movie-making game with the kids. We sat in the other room and could follow the testing trough 2 webcams. Very interesting to see how kids respond to new games. They gave very honest answers and had a good opinion about certain aspects of the game.
The day after the meeting at Little Chicken we met up with Cinekid Office at Leidseplein. We had some good insight about he goals and projects of Cinekid. Specially the Cinekid Festival. Watch this video to have an impression of what Cinekid Festival is: Video Cinekid Festival 2012
Friday we visited the Science Centre Nemo with the other team of Games 4 Health and did some observations en research ( and yes, we also had some good old fun time with bubbles and electricity ). All in the name of science and research!
