  • Making Puppet Circuits
    Date: 10/24/2018
    Resource Category: Conference Proceedings
    The Prototyping Puppets project presents a craft-based prototyping project for STEM education of early middle school level students in informal learning. The project combines crafting and performing of hybrid puppets. It was pilot tested in two expert workshops (n=6 and n=10), which focused on crafting practices and materials and two student ... »
  • Ownership in Making Puppets
    Date: 06/19/2017
    Resource Category: Conference Proceedings
    Based on preliminary findings from two puppet making and prototyping workshops, an emergent importance of ownership is identified among participants. The workshops center around puppet construction and performance but differed in population and design. We identify key mechanisms of the observed feeling of owernership in the different populations ... »
  • Prototyping Puppets Beyond Borders
    Date: 06/17/2017
    Resource Category: Conference Proceedings
    We report on an ongoing collaboration that uses puppetry as a shared cultural expression in educational workshop that inform intercultural exchange. Collaborators in Atlanta, USA and Medellín, Colombia work in tandem on the design and implementation of puppet-building workshops. These workshops use narrative framing, craft-based prototyping, and ... »
  • Power Puppet: Science and Technology Education through Puppet Building
    Date: 06/20/2014
    Resource Category: Conference Proceedings
    In this paper, we describe our approach to designing electronic puppet-building workshops for middle to early high school students. Power Puppet uses traditional puppet building materials - paper and cloth as the main resources, together with simple circuits elements such as LED’s, batteries and magnets. We document our process of designing puppet ... »
