Proposed Workflow 2h session

INTRODUCTION (15 - 20 min):


 * who we are, who they are (are name tags necessary?)
 * what is a human? name your body parts. what do we use them for? intended to open an associative field - senses (ears, eyes, skin, nose), limbs (what for), organs (mouth/stomach, lungs, muscles,bones, brain)
 * what is a body hack? MODIFICATIONS, AUGMENTATIONS (add-ons), ACCESSORIES -- check posters for inspiration
 * goal of workshop -- hack, change and accessorise your body --> INTRODUCE that in the end, you will have to present the collection of augmentations you have and what you could now do with them that you couldn't do before

ELECTRONIX (15 min)


 * sensing electricity (MacBook experiment)/sensing magnetic fields (birds can do it)/sensing ferromagnetic metals (we can't)
 * magnet on a a fingertip -- experiment with sensing electricity/various materials
 * add-on - seeing in the dark (like cats) -- an LED on the finger

BODYMODD (30 min)


 * adaptations to different ENVIRONMENTS/SITUATIONS -- animal slide show from (projector) -- morphology/ senses/ fashion=sexual selection;
 * pick an environment/situation and envision a body modification that suits that environment (as inspiration perhaps have environment slide-show in the background -- sewer, city, dessert, ice, moon)
 * make it!!

TAILS, EARS, SHAPES

PHOTOSYNTHETIC SKIN (15 min)


 * what to plants do? make food from sun, produce oxygen
 * look at chlorella using microscope on projector
 * introduce the photosynthetic worm - animal/alga -- look at it on the projector and in centrifuge tubes
 * use chlorella + alginate to make mock photosynthetic skin

PRESENTATIONS (30 min)


 * each kid tells how about their changes/improvements

Spela says...

 * plastic petri dishes (š only a few)
 * glass slides!!! (m)
 * scale (m)
 * centrifuge tubes (15 mL) (š)
 * tweezers (m)
 * glass beaker for weighing NaOH/KOH (m)
 * plastic pipettes (š))
 * canola oil (š)
 * olive oil (š)
 * NaOH, KOH (š)
 * microscope w/ timelapse possibility (m)
 * acetone (š)
 * paper towels (ZKM)
 * gloves (m)

see (š)/(m)/(ZKM)... i presume it's self-explanatory :D
