Making at the Margins: Engaging Underserved Communities in Maker Technologies, Activities, and Spaces

Sun, April 15, 2:25 to 4:15pm, Sheraton New York Times Square, Floor: Second Floor, Central Park East Room

Session Type: Structured Poster Session

Abstract

This structured poster session brings together researchers who are exploring making at the margins. The collection of posters shares stories, cases, and empirical investigations of current works integrating maker technologies, activities, and spaces across a range of settings such as rural, urban, out-of-school, in-school and with a variety of underserved populations. Adopting a range of perspectives and approaches, presenters encourage participants to critically consider: (1) What does equity in maker technologies, activities, and spaces look like? And (2) What are the tensions that arise when making at the margins? Findings across projects offer insights into designing for access and equity, as well as an agenda for moving forward with making at the margins.
