- Extremely interactive end results
- Lot of pre-packaged steps
- Too much dependencies - hardware and software
- Too much text and steps
- Less interaction with the actual product as the kids loose interest after some time
- Takes more than 1 class
- It creates something that they cannot take home with them
- Because of the pre packaged steps, they never dive deep into the details.
(This is very specifically tailored for this audience)
- Workshops where they are provided with kits with which they can navigate and build their own stuff!
- One thing that I find important is that they make stuff that they can keep or take home with them
- I am also trying to keep the cost "per kit" per person/group less than $5-10. The reason for this being, I would like it if this idea has scalability.
The class usually consists of 5-8 girls of the age of 8-12. Each have different exposures and enjoy different parts of making (fabrication vs coding vs lights vs sound)
