[-empyre-] Fw: Re: prototyping fairy tales

[Alexandra Antonopoulou]

the theme is still the prototypes. My research in a nutshell: In my case children are using fantacy-writing and making as a method to prototype children stories. Children stories is just a product but the general question is how mataphor and narrative can be used as a way of prototyping. Children have the intutive ability to work with fantacy senarios therefore they are the best ones to prototype using this methodology and learning about design at the same time.
 
Best,
Alexandra

I think I missed the introductions. Chris.
