Echo is an alien schoolboy who has crashed his space pod at Butlins while studying the science of fun.
Throughout the summer of 2007 children and families at all three Butlins sites helped Echo to put his pod back together and fly home to the planet Fizzix in time for his tea.
Echo is an interactive story world to teach children about the physics of three Butlins rides.
It is the imagination of children, and grown ups, that creates Echo and his world, and we used two portable information technologies to help them conjure it up: mobile phones and printed paper.
It is Echo’s birthday tomorrow, and he’s getting a new powerpad for his space pod, so Echo asked “If you could choose a new powerpad for my ship, what power would it have, and what would I use it for?”
Here are some of the answers:
I WOULD CHOOSE A FORCEFEILD POWER PAD 2 STOP MY FRIEND ECHO CRASHEING AGAINE IT WUD MAKE HIM SAFE. LOVE ALEX B AGE 8
IT WOULD HAVE SUPER SPEED AS QUICK AS A BLINK SO EVERY TIME YOU BLINKED YOU COULD BE SOMEWHERE ELSE. LAUREN GOLD AGED 8
