Handicrafts feedback- Destiny

Handicrafts discussion of presentations based on their blog posts:

SAM:
I really like your idea of using pro create to improve your signs. I think basing your signs on what you had in class would be good enough. Maybe just clarify what you were trying to convey in them. Just a side note that I think you still need to keep your signs simple like they were in class because you do not want the sign to be limiting guests to a specific way of creating the rope and not too wordy to make them uninviting to engage in.

DANIELLE:
My suggestion to make this activity more accessible for people of all abilities and ages would be to have other components to your curriculum that does not involve the hot pens. This could be simply drawing on wood or having a game/challenge with exploring different types of wood based on the 5 senses. (organize wood based on color, smell, texture. weight. etc) you could have challenge cards like "cedar is reddish brown, straight fine texture.... can you find the car block?" This can engage guests who can not use the pen.

SAMANTHA:
I am very excited to see the transformation of your curriculum based on the feedback on class. I think you have many great ideas but since making a puzzle or riddle allows the guest to be the most creative I think narrowing it down to that will be successful in reaching your goal. I would just warn you because you mentioned that your original plan for set up was to have somme sort of flow to your station (buffet style line order, start on one end of the table and end on the other). This is risky in the workshop because most guests in the workshop just jump right in the middle or at the station with multiple people. This could jeopardize the experience if they start at the "wrong" end. If you still want to do this maybe have clear labels of START and FINISH so guests know there is an order. I do not know if this goal will be taken out in the iteration of the new set up but just a thought. We can discuss this if it is unclear.

All in all, I'm excited to see the evolution of these stations when implemented in the workshop. I am also excited to get feedback on my activity tomorrow and make changes based on how people respond/ interpret my curriculum.
