And the winner of the 'How do you know you are not a robot?' competition, by Koiné Filosófica and Wonder Ponder is...
Ellen Duthie
Last month, Koiné Filosófica, in collaboration with Wonder Ponder, launched the competition 'How do you know you are not a robot?', echoing the cover of the our latest Visual Philosophy for Children title, I, Person:
The instructions were clear:
1.- 'Like' the Wonder Ponder and Koiné Filosófica Facebook pages
2.- Share
3.- Send us an image/video of your children, nieces, nephews, grandchildren, cousins, etc. with the answer to the question: 'How do you know you are not a robot?'
The prize? A free copy of I, Person!
Wonder Ponder creators Ellen Duthie and Daniela Martagón were given the hard task of being the jury in the competition and choosing the winning entry. After a lot of thinking and many 'oh! but we like them all! they had to choose one.
The winner is..
Xiana! Congratulations from all the Wonder Ponder team. Here is the picture she sent with her answer. Below is a translation into English of what she said and an explanation of why the jury chose this entry.
We really loved Xiana's answer. Daniela (the illustrator) was particularly taken with the nail growth argument. Ellen (the writer) was very interested in the thoughts on change. And we would like to suggest another question for us to wonder and ponder about some more: If you have changed so much (almost entirely) since the age of three, are you actually the same person? What has remained the same in you all along?
Thank you very much to everybody for taking part. We have loved watching/reading and listening to all your answers.
Until next time!
We leave you with some of the other entries we have also loved. .
The video sent to us by Artesanos del pensamiento, in México (which was unfortunately not in the territory for the competition) was WONDERFUL!. They also told us how they talked about the competition question at school:
We have also really enjoyed the entries from Margarita and Ángela:
And last but not least, here are some questions so that we can wonder and ponder some more:
