Introducing the HRL Cheat Sheet!

Rafi Santo, Indiana UniversityDixie Ching, New York University

• Research-based recommendations • Addressing common issues or contexts

relevant to Hive member organizations. • Focused on HRL research areas: • How to support youth interest-driven

learning pathways?• How to strengthen Hive as an

infrastructure for innovation?

What is an HRL Cheat Sheet?

Pop-Ups!

What are those research areas again?

Youth Level:

How can the Hive best support youth interest-driven learning pathways?

Network level:

How can the Hive be strengthened as an infrastructure for innovation?

• Pop-Ups, Hack Jams and Maker Parties• Two Hive member user types:• Participants (running stations or just

attending)• Facilitators (hosting the event or

organizing overall)• Two general goals: YT and DOI• 4 unique categories x 4 recs each = 16

bite-sized recommendations overall!

Overview

To better support Youth Interest-Driven Pathways…

If you’re a participating organization…

• Have your youth play a central role in the running of your station (Ex: design the station, beta test something, or just help facilitate more generally)

• E.g. – Rubin Museum & MOUSE

Rubin Museum - Summer Quest Maker Party

To take advantage of Hive as an Infrastructure for Innovation…

If you’re a participating organization…

• Use Pop-Ups as a context for experimentation, prototyping and iteration around learning tools and activities.

• E.g. – World Up, Institute of Play

World Up - Summer Quest Maker Party

To better support Youth Interest-Driven Pathways…

If you’re facilitating or hosting…

• Cater to multiple levels of expertise; offer opportunities for kids to both sample different things as well as do deep dives and gain expertise.

• E.g. - Iridescent

Hive Game Jam

To strengthen Hive as an Infrastructure for Innovation…

• Invite innovative organizations from outside of the Hive network to host a table so that Hivers can get exposure a wider array of pedagogies and technologies.

• E.g. HiveHQ and littleBits

If you’re facilitating or hosting…

littleBits - Brooklyn Storymakers

• Form groups of 3• Read through the cheat sheet and

discuss• Write up feedback, +1’s, commentary,

additional recommendations you’d want to see included, etc.• Share out with the group• You can also add feedback to this

etherpad:https://etherpad.mozilla.org/HRLcheatsheet-onedayevents (or http://bit.ly/HRL_events)• Return feedback so we can integrate!
