Our Studio will go through four phases: a warm up
hands-on activity, a sharing session, a pairing session,
and a breakdown period.
Example Hour 1 – warm up: participants will make a
circle around a table featuring parts for making
widgets. Individually, they will use the widgets to make
whatchamacallits. Once each participant has put
2
together a whattchamacallit that represents his or her
personality using the assorted widgets, each one
introduces him/herself and the creation to the group.
Example Hour 2 – sharing session: Studio organizers
will discuss the participants’ creations and use premade examples to present best practices for creating
whatchamacallits.
materials can be provided in a bullet pointed list.
However, please provide a description and or
justification of materials that may be deemed as
unique, difficult to resource, or require the host
institution and/or TEI 2013 conference to assist in
acquiring.
Example materials:
Example Hour 3 – pairing session: after an engaging
discussion, the participants will pair up with another
attendee to combine their creations and make a new
whatchamacallit. The pairs will then explore using
laptop computers to program the widgets in the
whatchamacallits to interact with people.

1 pair of headphones
Example Hour 4 – during the breakdown period,
participant pairs will hand what they created to other
pairs. Once each pair has a whatchamacallit that they
did not create, they will break it down and explain how
it combined widgets in ways that differed from other
groups. After each pair has broken down the
whatchamacallits, we’ll have a discussion to break
down why the processes of building up, programming,
and breaking down widgets is important for
understanding the landscape of tangible, embedded,
and embodied interaction. Participants will be given a
widget to take home.
Estimated Budget
Bill of Materials
The proposal must provide a list of materials that will
be used during the studio, if appropriate. This list of
materials should be as complete as possible at the time
of proposal submission. Studio Chairs will be in contact
with Studio Organizers of successful proposals to
finalize and help resource materials. The list of
Please keep in mind that the studios will be available
for all conference attendees. Participants in the
workshops might be required to pay a small fee for
participation to cover material costs. It is expected that
the studio proposal coordinators will provide and/or
help to resource materials that are unique to their
workshop. Limited basic materials might be available
from the conference host institution and TEI
conference. At this time, we cannot tell you which
material types might fall into the latter category. In
your budget, assume that all materials will have to be
bought, borrowed or provided by participants (in the
case of unique or expensive materials. A complete
budget estimate will assist the studio chairs in
organizing material resource needs. Studio chairs will
follow-up on budgets with the coordinators of accepted
proposals.
