the big idea
K then E then K — predict, make, and reflect, keeping each step under 30 seconds
how to play
find
gather materials and set the stage
K stands for “KNOW” — before you touch anything, say out loud what you THINK you’re about to make. “I think I’m going to make a tall tower.” or “I think this paper will fold into a bird.” say your guess! this is your prediction, and it’s okay if it’s wrong.
fold
the hands-on exploration
E stands for “EXPERIENCE” — now MAKE something, fast! grab paper, blocks, clay, whatever is near you. you have 30 seconds. don’t plan — just go! let your hands decide. what comes out might match your guess... or it might be completely different.
unfold
reflect on what happened
K again — “KNOW” — look at what you made. was it what you predicted? probably not exactly! say out loud what ACTUALLY happened: “I said I’d make a tower, but I actually made more of a cave.” the gap between what you EXPECTED and what HAPPENED is where all the learning lives. that gap is called a SURPRISE, and surprises are your brain’s favorite way to learn.
find again — new material same function
do it again with a different material. make the same prediction — “I’ll make a tall tower” — but with something totally different. does the material change what comes out, even when you’re trying to make the same thing?
