Welcome to the Magic, Machine, Bug playground! This guide will equip you to facilitate a dynamic brainstorming session, whether you're using Mural's virtual canvas or good old-fashioned whiteboards. We'll swap "Rose" for "Magic," "Bud" for "Machine," and "Thorn" for "Bug" to delve into the exciting world of AI, uncovering its potential, practical implementations and potential roadblocks.

Part 1: Exploration (30 minutes)

‍

1. Icebreaker (Optional): Start with a quick, AI-themed icebreaker to energise the participants.
2. Free-flowing Brainstorming: Instruct participants to individually write down ideas for Magic, Machine, and Bug aspects of AI on sticky notes. Encourage exploration and diverse perspectives.
3. Sharing and Sticking: Each participant shares one idea from each category, sticking their notes onto the designated sections of the canvas.
4. Visual Enrichment: As ideas emerge, encourage participants to add sketches, diagrams, or visuals to enrich the canvas.

Part 2: Clustering and Synthesis (30 minutes)

1. Finding Connections: Guide the group to identify similar ideas within each category (Magic, Machine, Bug) and across categories.
2. Clustering: Use coloured dots or markers to mark connections and group related ideas on the Clustering Canvas.
3. Naming the Clusters: Collaboratively name each cluster to capture its essence.
4. Deeper Discussion: Facilitate discussions around each cluster, exploring the implications, opportunities, and potential solutions related to the identified Magic, Machines, and Bugs.
