Proposed Pitch Intro

Hi All, I've typed up a rough pitch outline for the presenter. Please feel free to correct my grammar/sentence structure or make changes to the pitch.

Pattie, if you would be comfortable pitching the intro before Meagan's boards that would be great. You have a strong voice that is beautiful for pitching.

Intro:

Hello my name is …(presenters) and we represent Group 2.

Our story is about a young boy who is, at first, reluctant and apprehensive to learn at a new school, but is soon inspired in a collaborative, futuristic learning environment.  Our group explored the idea of integrating holograms as tactile problem solving to organize inspiring lessons based on 2nd grade math, spelling, and science. 

We have some new storyboards based on some changes you suggested last week. We have introduced a teacher who utilizes these holograms to direct her lesson plans and inspire students. The holographic lesson plans are meant to not only support the teacher, but also inspire a collaborative work environment between the students. 

We have some updated story boards to show, as well as some vis dev for the teacher, main character, supporting 2nd grade characters, and updated classroom designs.  

Examples/ Inspiration

Teacher Designs

These are some initial sketches I came up with, exploring different appearances.

mainly inspired by Julie Andrew's character, Maria, in Sound of Music and Ms. Frizzle from the Magic School Bus series

These are the final looks I liked for the teacher. Any feedback would be great :)

Hologram Tests

I'm not quite sure what kind of hologram style we are going for, but I think the best bet is to stay away from the gimmicky blue glowing holographic look and try to go for a more real looking projection. So that means more life-like colors with a slight incandescent glow with a toned down opacity.

Thursday Pitch Session?

Hey Guys,

Denise was asking if we were free for a pitch on Thursday with the other groups. I can be available all of Thursday, but I was wondering if anyone else is free/would like to join.

I also mentioned we were meeting up on Wednesday night and extended the invitation to the other groups.

2nd grade curriculum

Examples/ Inspiration

I remember seeing this some time before. It's similar to what we're doing; every surface is basically another computer. I think what we need is just to push the "holographic room" aspect where things can move freely in the projected space. Pretty much like the holodeck from Star Trek, but with popups that can expand information depending on what you focus on or even transition to other subjects.
