Plan: Projectdraft | |||
Presentation of some organisms | |||
-> Brainstorming to one organism in groups of 3-4 people (what can we do with it? how can we present that idea?) and create 5 ideas | |||
Creatures: | |||
slime mold: one big cell that grows toeards the food. What experiments can be done with it? Idea: how would slime mold plan rail networks | |||
Euglena (Algae): can photosynthesize and reuse CO2 ; moves slowly towards the light | |||
Mycelium: Idea: modular bricks for building structures | |||
Glow in the dark mushrooms (pomellus stipticus): idea: exitlights/nightlights filled with mushrooms | |||
Combucha (yeast and bacteria living together) creating paperlike structure when dried | |||
One hour to make up 5 ideas | |||
-> Why? How? What? | |||
1. Exit signs from glowing mushrooms (brightness?lifetime?) | |||
why? no, electricity but importance of finding the exit | |||
how? Glowing mushroom jars | |||
What? Exit signs and emergency paths | |||
2. Animation with Euglena (filming them moving towards the light; making templates that partly block out the light to create pictures etc.) | |||
why? for entertainment | |||
how? templates, light, experimentation | |||
what? animations, music videos, stop motion animation etc. | |||
3. Lampshade from dried Combucha for interesting light effects | |||
why? warm light and interesting patterns | |||
how? dry the combucha, make patterns for the lampshades | |||
what? Lampshades; windowshades | |||
4. plates with slimemold layered to create interesting paintings | |||
why? new technique for artists; new medium | |||
how? slime mold grown on transparent plates, layered behind one another | |||
what? layered "paintings" | |||
5. Pens made from mycelium | |||
why? less plastic is used | |||
how? develop case for pens out of mycelium | |||
what? compostable pen cases; maybe Diy Kits for teens | |||
- 20 Minute break - | |||
Group session 2 | |||
-> Develop one of our ides further; chosen idea: glowing exit signs | |||
