Deliverable–Board game
Image
Information cocoons often form quietly—we don’t even realize we’re inside one until we feel creatively isolated. The board game was the way of breaking that silence. by creating a playful space where students can see their cocoon reflected through others. It turns self-awareness into shared awareness, replacing quiet loneliness with honest, human interaction.
