Club Ex

This week we focused on the experience of joining a club. 

What new and original club might we invent and how could we make it a really good place for kids (real or virtual)? This is designing an experience in an organization and it requires the kids imagine themselves in that club. 

First step: design a name and logo. How about the Ninja Club? 

Or the combination Alice in Wonderland Tropical Club with a cheshire cat beach ball? 

Brochure Warning: "Only come to our website if you suffer from nightmares or crazy ideas. May be pictures of things that will make you have a heart attack because you are laughing so hard".

Next step: how to promote the club? Some kids made paper prototypes of websites. This is a practise that some web developers use to first discuss a web design with their clients. By stripping away the moving graphics of the computer, it's easier to focus on the information that the user might need. Other kids designed brochures. Both items involve layout and content design.

At the kids' shopping club, members are given an allowance and meet up at popular stores to shop til they drop. Subsidies are available for kids that need them.

At the food club, young people collaborate to decide on  a menu, cook it and then share interesting and new tastes with one another.

At Bugs R US there is a fully equipped nature centre. Kids are taught how to handle the bugs with care and may also see local reptiles and birds.

These students worked on a system of secure membership cards for the tech club with fingerprint ID.
