A Knowledge Tree that Grows
The Knowledge Tree exercise can be repeated at
several events leading to the Gamification Summit
and the Games for Change Festival. The tree is
about 1m in height and should sit on a table.
We can allow the Knowledge Tree to continually fill
with tags (adds to its visual impact) and we will
process the tags within a month of the event to
come up with:
• A shortlist of robust questions
• A list of preliminary ideas or solutions
We can then work with the City of Melbourne to
select the best questions to drive the “City
Challenge Game” at the November events. A great
example of ongoing community contribution to
City Challenges.
