Objective and Rules of the Game
• The professor transforms into a coachshowing/exercising/refining the use of swiss armyknives and maps
• Students become a team of wayfinders• Reward: Points on a personal score card
What for? -> Three „currencies“
• Finding relevant information• Shaping new ideas based on information• !Rewards for Cooperation!
i.e. Successful transfer of information within the team
Swiss Knives
• Delve into existing knowledge: Working withsearch engines databases (the maps)
• Create scientific models describing theproblem based on simple assumptionsabstracting out all unnecessary detail
• Implement the problem solutions
• Record / Report Discuss your activities in a project team
Undergraduate Students of Textile Technology
develop a
• Walking Structure (sort of Tafelbeest inspired byTheo Jansen‘s Strandbeeste)
• (= moving without weels or wings) • Size (= 30 x 30 x 30 cm³)• Powered by a Hair Drier
First Example
First StepsFind out:
How can a structure absorb power from a hair-drier?
How can it transform hair-drier energy into horizontal walk?
What are the necessary material parameters to fulfillthese conditions?
