Children working as creative design partners.
Designing interactive learning apps.
Eight children involved, from elementary to middle school age.

Goldfish, served in coffee filters.
Hi, I'm Kaitlyn :0)
Internship at Pearson Learning Products.
Juice - the perfect afternoon snack complement to goldfish.
KidsTeam, a few hours each Wednesday afternoon where the children & adults brainstorm together.
Last trimester of high school.
My Senior Research Project Proposal (SRP): link at the bottom of the post.
Non-disclosure agreements (sorry, I can't give you app specifics).
Open-minded environment.
Personalized notebooks (mine has a K on it).
Questions - the more the merrier.
Rusty, my on-site mentor, and Mr. Peacher, my former math teacher & faculty mentor.
Sketches of our thoughts.
Thoughts and anecdotes about the process and office.
Unveiling the creative design process.
Varying perspectives and opinions.
Washi tape and glitter - the foundations of creative thought.
X-rays and xylophones allowed - no idea is too weird (even if it involves hamsters).
Yellow pencils and imaginations in hand.
Zany - some of our ideas aren't exactly normal (the flying pig with one horn comes to mind).
Anyway, I'm very excited to go out into the "real" world this last trimester of high school, & I hope to learn something new along the way. Hopefully next time I post I'll have an exciting anecdote or two to tell! Here's the link to my SRP that I promised in L:
