FYI - Sydney is Awesome.
I consider myself very lucky to be part of the Awesome Foundation in Sydney. I get to hang out with really inspiring fellow members, be part of a global movement, and most importantly, I get to learn about and help the most awesome projects and people on a monthly basis.
Still one of my favourite grant recipients is Scott Brown, and the video above is of his project, Experiential Media & Autistic Spectrum Disorders. In Scott’s words:
I am an Honours student at COFA in Sydney, studying Digital Media and focusing on interactive and experiential design. Currently, I am working on a year-long project which will look at how children with autistic spectrum disorders (ASDs) respond to physical interaction with digital devices.
You can read all about this amazing device over at Scott’s excellent website, Kodama.Pixel.
It’s great to see that Scott’s project has moved on and that the $1,000 is helping him to refine his idea and progress it into a more sophisticated working prototype.
Just confirms what we already knew - Scott is awesome and so is his project.
