Hi I've posted more of the first draft of the SudoKit learning box. It is intended to be a collaborative project, with an emphasis on making stuff fun and cool to irreverent teens and weird adults https://sudoroom.org/wiki/SudoKit#First_Draft SudoKits First Draft Small animals, kids, and adults start out holding a pretty box full of SudoKit stuff. It holds learning placemats, shadowbox tool placemats, and small useful charms like an hourglass to measure time spent offline while learning stuff (internet addiction is a big problem) How to use [image: sketch for the SudoKit mats. Help curious souls make sense of the infinite possibilties] <https://sudoroom.org/wiki/File:SudoKit_Sketch_-_the_mats.png> Box of Stuff [image: Lots of things to keep us in the material world, not just the digital world. we learn by touching and talking and doing.] <https://sudoroom.org/wiki/File:SudoKit_full_of_stuff.png> - Material SudoKit keeps people from spending too much time in an abstract, social media world while at the SudoRoom - Touching and holding things is important for learning, especially for folks who don't enjoy book learning. - It's debatable whether people have skills in learning in some ways but hackerpsaces emphasize learning by doing, and having a set of things to touch and hold is proven to work with other inspiring projects - Various members can contribute and will have fun recycling stuff and creating beautiful learning kits - this is extensible Placemats There are multiple sets of these and placed inside the sudokit. people take them out and put them down at a tablespace. the idea is that they don't have to deal with the "blank page" problem when first walking into SudoRoom. there is a starting point. [image: first draft of the placemats] <https://sudoroom.org/wiki/File:First_Draft_SudoKit_Placemat.png> Time Offline [image: how can we make it fun and rewarding for people to limit their internet addiction?] <https://sudoroom.org/wiki/File:Tracking_time_spent_offline.png> Vast treasure trove of the internet has an inherent danger. People can go online to learn about creating vegan shoes, but then be distracted by philosophy papers or softcore porn. I haven't figure it out yet, but there must be a fun way to help people enjoy styaing offline if they see the benefits. It would be cute to have a small hourglass that they can put on the placemat... a personal contest of staying offline? Some people will naturally object and say that staying online is what they want to do. But what if you aren't coding? do you need to be that plugged in? this idea is still pretty nebulous and would need some help. Tool Shadowboxing [image: Keep your tools] <https://sudoroom.org/wiki/File:Shadowboxing_wutang_style.png> With electronics there is so much stuff people can easily be overwhelmed. One of the placemats should have a "shadowbox" like they use in factories.
