coPlay: Big Purpose Dreaming Plays With Pop Culture Avatars
summary
Workshop condenses a four‑week practice into a 2‑hour pilot that uses a co‑play buddy system and a pop culture avatar deck to reframe personal or project goals. Participants pair (2‑person; optional 4‑person) on a Miro/Mirror board, pick an avatar, and map concrete next steps (draft proposal, prototype idea, outreach plan). Small trials target siblings and creatives with ADHD-like overwhelm; breakout‑room and copying glitches appear, but teams report clearer actions and usable artifacts at session end.
