PURPOSE: You've built your own maketroduction project and you have had a Lab where you used littlebits to make something interactive (and you have might have other projects you'd like to do/share). In order for an activity to be repeatable by someone else, appropriate documentation must accompany it.
Assume that your audience does not have expertise in the area of your activity yet. This will be challenging. Avoid lingo of the field or of our campuses when possible.
Take a look at different sites that publish how-to content. Find one type of project on at least 3 of the sites below for inspiration:
DUE DATE: how-to written form and <1 minute "Why this?" video due 2/21. Make sure that you leave enough time to capture footage, edit the video, and revise how-tos prior to this date.
What to do:
- Document the process of running the activity. Include sections on the following:
- Overview
- Materials included
- Detailed Guide to Activity
- You will be creating a short 1-minute "Why This" video to motivate someone to make your creation. Imagine you're at a crowded Maker-Faire and many people are walking by. Why would they want to make your thing? Make it interesting.
- Submit your forms to the DREAM Google Drive folder (DIY project folder link).
- Submit the link to your Youtube or Vimeo video (here with this form).
