Hi, I'm Holly and I’m excited to say
that I’m the new intern for NIE. As part of my placement I’ll be mainly
focusing on the Peterborough-based projects that NIE have planned for this
year.
Last week we were working in primary schools
round Peterborough picking on some exciting young minds for ideas to turn into
a new show, ‘I will be EVERYTHING’. The workshops focused on the world of the
future, fast-forwarding students to
2063 and the terrifyingly old age of 58 and asking them to explain a
little more about their new world! Discussion included the new and exciting and
also the scary and worrying things that the 2060s have in store, with students
presenting their thoughts to their classmates.
Amongst our 58 year old participants we had a
monkey, a ninja, a few dentists, quite a few footballers and one ghostbuster.
We were told of several new inventions, including flying cars, houses that can
get bigger and smaller and a newspaper that has tomorrow's news.
Even new words, ‘Catadogo’ anyone? Someone
from 2063 could tell you that it means, ‘I like your pet’!
It wasn’t all happy news though, in 2063
everyone has red eyes and there is a worryingly growing population of giant
ants...
Thank you to all the kids and teachers and
West Town, Middleton and The Beeches primary schools for all your help and
enthusiasm, we can’t wait to starting using your ideas in ‘I will be
EVERYTHING’!
