Video description: panning over my etching of 3 sea stars. The left corner is filled with a barnacles. In the middle 3 sea stars appear in varying shapes to fit the space. They are colourful in a peach, burnt orange and yellow. Below them is another piece of rock with 5 sea anemone drawn.

I’m so sorry to hear about this loss Marissa - she sounds like an amazing, powerful role model

I told my students that I hated personas and explained why. They had never heard a negative thing about them. I showed them an example of a user profile and how I used it more as a communication and recruitment tool

Then lots of them made personas but labeled them user profiles 🫠

I was also surprised that the ink on my prints could be felt by touch. I expected it to be smooth on the paper

I’m curious if touching a print and tracing the ink could help people understand visual forms, or exploring how to create a print that can be read by touch rather than visually

…it wasn’t volunteer

Hope that’s somewhat helpful!

I _think_ I used people for research for accessibility testing…. (But I’m only 70% sure it was them) They have a group of people where you can see what assistive technologies they use etc

I found this webpage: www.peopleforresearch.co.uk/services/acc...

It says volunteer tho 😵‍💫 but when I did it…

It is! And also amazing how 6yo is still as wise, thought provoking and hopefully as creative (wanting a gif on a t-shirt was my favourite idea)

I missed these stories so much. Can’t believe 2yo became 6yo so fast 🫶

Some topic ideas that each group could focus on:
- Community supported agriculture
- Mutual aid
- Buy nothing communities
- Climate change refugees
- Making investment transparent and de-investment people-led
- Community library of things

Does anyone have any other topic ideas that I could add? 🙏
