a cognitive artefact for kids reminding why we should care for our teeth

Due to Alex’s interests we decided that a computer game was a suitable solution to tell a story over time. I send Alex pictures and sketches of the game and we had many interesting discussions over the phone about how to proceed.

project x- our relation to our teeth

Since my best friend Carina is soon to be a dentist, we decided to do this project x as sort of a collaboration. I started out by taking pictures of my classmates teeth and asking them how they feel about their teeth. I was a rather interesting discussion on the part about what our teeth actually are and what they mean to us; is it an organ, a part of the skeleton, a tool?

in the brainpool today I asked the particpants to create whatever they wanted on the subject; an awareness to our teeth. The outcome was:

a wisdom tooth broach made by Bea

Katrin looked at the teeth as something growing up from the flesh that we could nurture like with a plant

Ulrika created a tooth character to care and learn from. Me and Carina has thought of this direction before; a cute character, story etc. But we will see.
