DESCRIPTION:Can open-ended play be a means for collectively exploring the a
 djacent possible in a design space? Playing with the Sun is a project to d
 evelop constructionist play materials that enable learning and creativity 
 with alternative energy sources. As the design of these play materials mat
 ures\, we will use them to invite children and adults to “play towards
 ” emergent design ideas\, document and curate their results\, and then o
 ffer these insights as a starting point for future participants. The goal 
 is to develop new strategies for supporting collective creativity and the 
 exploration of the adjacent possible in the library.  This research is sti
 ll in its early stages as a project of Dokk1 Library in Aarhus\, Denmark\,
  and the Experimenting\, Experiencing\, Reflecting research project at the
  Interacting Minds Centre at Aarhus University. I will share documentation
  of past experiments as well as future aspirations\, and give physical att
 endees an opportunity to play with the prototype play materials themselves
 .\n\nAbout the speaker: Amos Blanton is an educator specializing in the de
 sign of open-ended creative learning experiences and environments\, and is
  currently researching collective creativity as a PhD Student at the Inter
 acting Minds Centre at Aarhus University in partnership with Aarhus Public
  Libraries. He ran the Scratch online community at MIT Media Lab\, designe
 d learning through play spaces and activities with the Exploratorium\, the
  Reggio Children Foundation\, and LEGO\, and helped land the FujiFilm Blim
