== SudoKits == | |||
=== First Draft: the Kit Itself === | |||
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 ==== | |||

==== Box of Stuff ==== | |||
[[File:SudoKit full of stuff.png|Lots of things to keep us in the material world, not just the digital world. we learn by touching and talking and doing.]] | |||
* 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. | |||

==== SudoRoom Treasure Map ==== | |||
Various monthly placemats (physical not digital) of the current layout of the room. | |||
Emphasis on SudoRoom visits as an adventure. | |||
The layout is constantly changing! | |||
I think this is especially important because there is such a jumble of equipment and machinery everywhere... hopefully this solves the "I'm new and I'll just be shy and bury my face in social media during my whole time here" syndrome | |||

==== Time Offline ==== | |||
[[File:Tracking time spent offline.png|how can we make it fun and rewarding for people to limit their internet addiction?]] | |||
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 ==== | |||
[[File:Shadowboxing wutang style.png|Keep your tools]] | |||
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. | |||
but it will be like some wutang shadowboxing right there! because it's not work it's fun! | |||
=== Subscription Sets === | |||
People get periodic sets sent to them, or they can pick up new ones at the SudoRoom. | |||
==== Set 1: 3D print your own skatepark and snowboard set ==== | |||
* Goals: teach 3D printing, basic modelling, there's probably some math thrown in there because you have to scale this stuff down | |||
The topic is actually pretty fun, it's cute. The hard part is enabling people to have someone done quickly in the first session. | |||
The hard part is keeping people from surfing the internet too much when they are at SudoRoom. I mean, they can do whatever they want, but you aren't really going to learn 3D printing by hanging out on YouTube all day. | |||
