Workshop 1 - Parramatta Personas & Storyboarding excercises.
Here we spent time getting to know a selection of Parramatta-specific personas (from approximately 25) and creating short stories or scenarios to depict some of the challenges or frustrating encounters the personas face around Parra's CBD.

Workshop 2 - Exploring the CBD with our personas.
In this session we took our personas for a walk around the CBD to identify and document the spots encounters could be trick for them around the CBD, and others where there could be playful opportunities for our different personas. For more from this workshop session, see the other Workshop 2 entries on the blog.

Workshop 3 - Designing Experiments for a playful Parramatta.
This workshop enabled us to co-define design briefs related to our respective personas' challenges and opportunities, followed by some hands-on experimentation with possibilities for pilots going forward.
