PROVOCATION

Explode the Image

consider this space

• Who is included?
• Who is excluded?
• What makes you say that?
• What explicit or implicit messages are being sent with this space?

*With your group, mark up the page with any observations, connections, inferences, and/or questions. Be prepared to share in 3 minutes

Our Goals

Solving complex issues of inequities we see and experience around us.

• Low levels of EDIDA representation are a concern
• Low motivation, and low support for reading amongst children 11-13 years old

• Barriers to inclusivity and representation (e.g. lack of agency, inclusion etc.)

Identifying and acting on ways to make positive change in the community.

• Lack of connection to local community, its history and their concerns
• Creating a sense of belonging and representation for underrepresented and oppressed groups (Low socioeconomic, BIPOC, non-binary)
• Product reflects identity and needs of the community

Consider These Spaces

Lesson Flow

Define identity, community, representation to understand who is included in our local community. How can we increase representation?

Maker Challenge - prototype mini-libraries that consider the local environment and identities

Reflection and feedback

Maker Challenge

PART ONE

• Consider your identity and all that makes you, you
• What are the most important factors for you?

• Brainstorm a list/web/map of ideas

Maker Challenge

No Tech: Paper, colours Low Tech: Cardboard, tape, scissors High Tech: TinkerCad tinyurl.com/Tinker565

PART TWO

• Use the materials (no tech, low tech, high tech) to construct a prototype mini-library that most authentically represents you and your group
• GUIDING QUESTIONS
• How can we create a design that reflects and includes the identities of our entire group?

• How can we create a design that considers local environment factors while being inclusive to the greater community?
• What do we need to consider when members of our community are interacting with this space?

STRUCTURAL PARAMETERS

• Must be able to house at least 10 books
• Must be able to withstand local environment (consider weather, animals, people, etc.)
