Hi all,<\/strong><\/p>\n

Anisha here – Art lead and sort of the Historian\/videographer of the project.\u00a0 I’ve been steadily documenting the project through video and photo through our first few weeks (and I’m not about to stop!) and have gotten some awesome research captured.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A few of the things we’ve looked at so far, from an interaction perspective, are Jenga blocks, Legos, and a slough of different kinds of stacking and building blocks that children interact with.\u00a0 One of the best things about Digital Dream Lab is that we get to play with a ton of cool, FUN, technology, too!\u00a0 We’re taking a look at anything we can find related to tangible and visual programming – from robotics to Scratch.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our advisor dropped off a set of Modrobotics’ Cubelets<\/a> and we had a grand time playing with them for an afternoon, figuring out how to put them together and make some really cool modular sensing robots.\u00a0 Matt, our Producer, is taking a robotics course on main campus and has especially been having a blast playing and experimenting with all the different kinds of robots we’ve made!<\/strong><\/p>\n
