'The division of tests by blue and red badges was neat, but not obvious to me until the very end, so I think I did the “wrong” tests.'
'Unfortunately, I found BioCrisis confusing. I still don't get the point of the experience. The disorientation, awkwardness with a stranger as a “partner”, and lack of explanatory background meant that I couldn't concentrate on the story that was being told through the headphones. Maybe it's also the subject matter, hard to contemplate on big issues like annihilation of the human race when rushed through a 15 minute physically disorientating experience. (On the other hand, loved the Kaiju game'
Feedback from community groups working on Cardboard Kaiju
'I was so heartened to see a decent sized group checking out the Edge and realising that it is not so threatening being a different space and it is actually really cool!! ' (Flexi school teacher)
This letter is to thank you for your help over the past two months As “oldies” from the men’s shed, we did know what to expect when we rocked up to our first session.
We were split up into two groups, the CNC team and the Laser cutter team. We left very impressed at what we had learnt. The discovery of what actually happens at the Edge, exited us and we looked forward to our next session.
A few of us, not being satisfied with learning one thing decided to make “The Edge” our home for a few weeks and take on other projects that were being offered. The professional and courteous help we have received has encouraged us to go even further.
We are keen to build a CNC Router for our shed We also wish to pass on our new skills to other members of the Sunnybank District Men’s Shed We are looking at doing a CCC course for members who could not make it to the city or need a lot of understanding of computers. (There are a few issues that need sorting out before we take this step)
We hope that we will continue to drop into “The Edge” to sniff out any other interesting “stuff” that might become available.
Once again our deepest thanks to the team ( Emma, Mick Phil, Andre and Peter )
Regards, Alan, Keith, Bruce and Ted

The props were fantastic! Finding some way to encourage players to be out on the board with the pieces more would be great so everyone could feel more like they’re in the middle of a giant boardgame, instead of just watching from the sidelines. Maybe moving the card area to the middle somehow? Or projecting the cards on the wall so people don’t have to be in one cluster to see them?
