Idea one:
I started my research with looking at youtube videos of kinetic sculptures; I really liked the ones by David C. Roy,
Idea two:
My first idea is basically building a kinetic sculpture that can show how variables work, but I couldn’t really think of a way to define it and explain the variables enough, so I found this Marble track example, I think it would work if the marbles were the variables and there were different tracks and what not for them to follow. The cost of this would be buying marbles, and buying a material to build the track with, I know I have plywood available for free and I have left over glue and things that would take the price of things down.
Idea three:
My final idea was to do with paper dolls and naming the clothes so that they were variables and giving the people instructions to put them on the dolls.
After listening to peoples idea on Friday, I have reconsidered some of mine, I have come up with two new metaphors,
1. A variable is a vending machine
2. A variable is a box of chocolates.
I really like the first idea, but I think instead of variable, an array would work better.
Pseudo Code
void setup (){
(200,200):
}
void draw (){
put dollars in
2 dollar coin and one dollar coin
insert into coin place
decide which one I want
choose letter and number
a1, a2,a3,a4,a5
,b1,b2,b3,b4,b5
machine will finds it
food or drink drops out the bottom
}
I wrote a time management plan above, I will be able to add to it when i know exactly what it is I'm making. Cost wise, it depends on how I want to portray the vending machine, a series of posters perhaps, and in this case I would cost would be in the printing.
