Collections of physical elements organized for participatory modeling, visualization, or creative play
Facilitated participatory exercises can provide people with a tangible artifact on which to project thoughts, feelings, desires, and emotions.
Flexible or Velcro modeling kits contain a range of three-dimensional forms, buttons, and ambiguous design elements that can be easily configured.
Interface kits can contain paper or card elements representing design features for flexible arrangement, suggesting mock or ideal web or device interactions.
Collage kits can contain an inventory of images and words or shape and symbol elements for open interpretation and use relevant to the design inquiry.
Drawing kits will contain various papers, cards, and writing tools accommodating a range of potential exercises.
Depending on the intent of the exercise, kits can be built from original materials or from existing parts, toys, or games.
