My first idea involves using puzzles and kids' own artwork in an educational way.
I plan to use the students' current syllabus to centre the theme of the work, but for ease of communication, I'm going to use my fallback theme of 'dinosaurs' to explain this idea.
There are numerous steps and layers of my initial idea...
1) A short workshop with primary school kids, teaching them about drawing dinosaurs.
2) Getting the kids to draw a dinosaur each.
3) After the workshop, the kids' drawings would be compiled into four or five large images (the background and features drawn by me, and the characters being the kids' work).
4) These would be turned into jigsaw puzzles, complete with QR codes that link to a website.
5) The webpage will have information of the types of dinosaurs on the puzzle, illustrated with comic strips and basic animations.
This way, I get to organise a workshop, interact with schools professionally, work with kids, produce a game, work with QR and website building, create artwork, and play with animation. This really works well with the theme of my over module - learning and building on a variety of skills.
