As part of our research with young people from Barnado’s towards enabling their experiences to be heard to a wide audience but importantly from their own words we ran a physical prototyping workshop. The aim of the workshop was to allow the young people to design storytelling machines that could be put in different locations and allow their stories to be accessed in fun an playful ways. The workshop ran on the 16th of July and produced lots of novel and interesting ideas which we will use as inspiration to build actual storytelling machines.
