Story-Board Stories, part I

(my first post!)

The white boards have lots of uses. Two of the frequent ones in UE2 are as a workspace and as a presentation space. Early in the week, Hunter introduced (or maybe reminded?) the participants about "Energy Storyboarding". The context here is very similar to the storyboards done for movie pre-production. One idea was this would help the teams "direct" the Energy Theater for their projects. Since the teams had a long time to work on their projects, they had a lot of time on the white-boards, and it's interesting to see the progressions (in thinking though that's hard for me to make much sense of from static images, in purpose from workspace to presentation space) and also the many different representations. On Tuesday, we were able to take pictures of whiteboards at the lunch break and then again at the end of the day. I've shown all the whiteboards here except for Alia & Akbar, for whom we only have the final storyboard (but I'll talk about their storyboard in a different post). Also, every group that has so far directed an Energy Theater has used their storyboard in some fashion. Here they are:
