App guide

Move across the maker desk

The release is structured as a sequence of physical work surfaces rather than a feed, calendar or service portal.

Opening bench

Choose the question you want to explore

Five large surfaces form the core navigation. Supporting drawers hold sound and stillness, gift storytelling, sources, privacy and release context.

SURFACE 01

Spark Swatches

Eight visual lenses pair a material mood with a contrast move and a tactile cue. Pinning a swatch stores one fixed option index locally; it is not a score or rating.

Use it for: Starting a visual conversation before making decisions.
Stored: One selected swatch number.
Boundary: No image upload, style analysis or assessment of a real display.

SURFACE 02

Tree Scene Composer

Build a conceptual scene through five categories: base, anchor, texture, glow and breathing space. A custom preview changes as fixed options are selected.

Use it for: Seeing how visual layers support or compete with one another.
Stored: Five option indexes.
Boundary: No construction plan, electrical guidance or official design approval.

SURFACE 03

Maker Trays

Twenty working lenses cover paper folding, textile loops, wooden forms, botanical silhouettes, contrast, display height, tactile samples, repair, sorting, packing and group handoff.

Use it for: Preparing a calm adult-led making conversation.
Stored: Identifiers of trays opened on the installation.
Boundary: Authorized adults remain responsible for real tools, materials, food, supervision and safety.

SURFACE 04

Welcome Run

Arrange up to eight fixed beats across a serpentine path: approach, first view, listening, tea, reflection and other visitor-centred moments.

Use it for: Discussing the rhythm of a welcoming experience.
Stored: An ordered list of up to eight fixed identifiers.
Boundary: Not a current venue map, timetable, access certification or crowd-management instruction.

SURFACE 05

Community Ripple

Eight expanding bands frame a general cycle: make, compose, welcome, steward, decide, support, reflect and renew.

Use it for: Keeping community benefit connected to thoughtful stewardship.
Stored: No personal or organizational evaluation.
Boundary: No money, donation, ticket, grant, eligibility, beneficiary ranking or automated recommendation.

Supporting drawers

Three quieter ways to continue

Sound & Stillness

Ten fixed prompts connect music, conversation, rest and lower-stimulation moments. They are not acoustic engineering, medical guidance or accessibility certification.

Gift Story Press

Twelve non-personal story lenses ask how a form might express welcome, patience or shared effort. No name, dedication, message or recipient is collected.

Sources & Privacy

Dated source cards explain the context and limits behind the product; the complete 18-section policy describes the exact release behaviour.

A suggested flow

Swatch → compose → make → welcome → reflect

There is no correct route and no completion pressure. A facilitator might pin a swatch, test a five-layer scene, open two Maker Trays, arrange four Welcome Run beats and finish with one community band.

Selections remain on the installation so the same device can reopen the conversation. Use Reset local choices in the app's About screen whenever a clean workbench is preferred.

Safety and governance

The app remains a prompt, not an authority

Real event operations, safeguarding, supervision, accessibility, public safety, permissions, finance, recipients and emergencies always stay with responsible people and applicable local procedures.

Use current information outside the app.
Confirm dates, venues, opening arrangements and public notices with authorized organizers.

Adapt materials responsibly.
Choose age-appropriate, non-toxic materials and follow real venue and equipment requirements.

Keep participation observable.
Family-oriented activities should remain guardian-led or supervised by responsible adults.

Do not infer eligibility.
The app has no role in grants, donations, beneficiaries, volunteer screening or service access.
