For my industry event I attended the Dust or Magic conference. The event was a group of adults who take technology and use it to make learning for kids more fun. While I was there I participated in a workshop event where they took cups with words the contribute to the thinking/creative written on them and stacked the cups into a pyramid based on what the groups thought was the most important flow. After that I listened to two presentations, the first one given by a woman who covered how technology and interactive storytelling can take different forms and how her group goes about providing entertainment for families through technology and storytelling. The second presentation focused on analyzing the way children think. It covered different learning methods, how children currently interact with technology, and how to hook them on technology that will not just entertain them but also educate them. Given how my thesis project will take both of these factors into account to some degree, it was great listening to these lectures as I got to hear the words of people who do this for a living.
