Today was about quick mechanisms and forming concepts to understand the relationship between objects and values. Values meaning the ideals of importance to us (recognition, listening, emotions, etc) and objects (binoculars, teddy bears, swing sets) as the mediators that transforms the values through experience.
In coming up with the experiences that kids can participate in that will link objects to values, the notion of how can the interaction be expanded upon after the kids are finished, was and is something that we all have to think about. It’s not necessarily a physical thing that they take away but maybe an understanding that “I can do something” and they do. Other than it being an online take away or a conversation that they have with others I’m stuck at the HOW can we do this? How do we foster a want for kids (and by extension families) to do something after they undergo the experience….I’m hoping that’s what we figure out tomorrow night!
