MAKESHOP: Design for Inclusion

What does inclusion feel like in a physical space? Join us in MAKESHOP as we think about designing spaces and places that feel kind and welcoming.

How would you redesign a place in your community or school to be more inclusive? Use recycled materials to build a prototype of your inclusive design.

Emotional Charades

Emotions can look so many different ways. Pick one out of a hat and act it out at the stage in the Studio! What will it look like to you? Can others guess what emotion you are expressing? Take turns. Let someone else pick an emotion to act out—can you guess?

Color Matching

We often associate different colors with different emotions. In the Disney and Pixar hit animated feature Inside Out, each emotion is associated with a single color: yellow for Joy, blue for Sadness, red for Anger, green for Disgust and purple for Fear.

Do colors make you feel different emotions? Do they remind you of different people or experiences you’ve had? Can you describe a memory using only color? Join us in the Studio as we explore the connections of color and memories.

Emotions as Puppets

Each emotion in Disney and Pixar’s hit animated feature Inside Out was created to resemble a basic shape: a star for Joy, teardrop for Sadness, fire brick for Anger, a piece of broccoli for disgust and a raw nerve for Fear.

What would an emotion look like in the form of a puppet? What would they wear, how would they act? Join us in the Studio and let’s make these puppets come to life!
