The
first preliminary study took place over the summer of 2002. The
event, called "Electro-Jewels", was organized by three
groups, Everyday
Learning at Media
Lab Europe, the Ark, a cultural
center for children in Dublin and the Grassroots
Invention Group at MIT Media
Lab, that collaborated to identify the ideas and concepts behind
it and to develop the activities with respect to the technological
tools and craft materials.
The
workshop was held in Dublin with two groups for two consecutive weeks,
July 29 until August 1st and 6 to 9 of August 2002. |
