2. Understanding Theory:

- Review relevant theories in early childhood education related to child development, outdoor play, risk-taking, and learning through movement. - Discuss how these theories, along with concepts from the course, can inform the design of your play-space.

3. Gen AI Design:

- Use GenAI to design your outdoor play-space, keeping a log of the prompts, programs and unsuccessful outputs.

- Consider how the play-space can be responsive to children's complex movement and promote risky play in a safe environment.

- Reflect critically, and adjust your prompts until you get an output that fits your understanding of theory. Explore various features and options available on Gen AI to an engaging and innovative design.

4. Collaboration:

- Work collaboratively within your group to allocate tasks, share ideas, and ensure everyone contributes to the design process.

- Effective communication and cooperation are essential for the success of your project.

5. Reflection:

- Reflect on your design process and the effectiveness of your play-space in promoting children's development.

- Consider any challenges faced during the design process and how you addressed them.

- Discuss lessons learned and areas for improvement in future projects.

6. Compile Your Work:

- a poster, slide-set or short video to showcase your outdoor play-space design. (You may use Gen AI for this too - same rules apply - you must reference it, give all prompts, and explain how you got to your end point.)

- Highlight the key features, rationale behind your design choices, and how it aligns with theoretical principles from this unit.

- a statement to families and colleagues on the value of risky play and the benefits of children playing in the environment designed by your group.
