This workshop concept was designed to engage pupils in gathering user
requierements for the eBag - a future digital school bag. We were interested in having the kids to tell about their school day without them expecting the reciever to have any previous knowledge of the danish school system. This was established through a narrative where the kids had to explain to a martian about their school day. Throgh a mars story and a simple technology setup we confronted the kids with a martian. In this way we were not the ones to do the inquiry - but instead the martian could in a more plausible way put very stupid questions. The workshop results and findings were used to inform the further develpoment of the eBag prototype. Read a paper on the workshop method here |
