In the third session, we thought about two concepts:

-Expandables. We looked at expandable objects: umbrellas, balloons, telescoping tools, scissor lifts, etc. How do these objects mitigate being both little and big?

and

-Wearables. What can we think of as body extensions? What can we apply to our bodies to make them move differently, present in a different scale, or have different powers? We looked at some wearables, including inflatables, kinetic fashions, and designs that included tiling, moveable parts, and body expansions.

We asked the kids to consider this two concepts and design something for themselves. We were surprised by the scope of their designs: from telescoping sports gear to modified bow ties, we saw a wide interpretation of design expression.
