A series of co-design activities were carried out in response to a 'real world design problem' initiated by the Sussex Wildlife Trust. Investigations considered how technological interventions could encourage outdoor play for older children (aged 8-12). The focus for the work was on developing participatory techniques for this age group that improve communication with adult partners and encourage creative thinking. In particular the use of character and story design activities facilitated open discussions about preferences and opinions and avoided the constraints of a real design problem. The children helped to co-create a series of Location Based Games that provided a useful design template for further concept development.
