StoryWalk: A novel technique for intergenerational participatory design

I’m copy written so don’t copy me. –Missy Elliot Abstract This position paper preliminarily reports on StoryWalk, a new technique for intergenerational co-design. StoryWalk’s use by KidsteamUB has led to the design of different two kinds of technology: an experience for a planetarium, and a tangible password tool for children. StoryWalk includes traditional storyboarding with sticky note feedback while including physical activity to help designers who have trouble sitting still. We believe that this technique is valid for participatory design of a wide array of technologies including those that support learning sciences.
