Workshop Proposal: Making the World Cleaner: Data Computation and Communication in a Design Landscape

Published: 27 August 2021 Publication History

Abstract

To gain maximum benefit from maker projects it is important to facilitate young people to fully engage with the outputs. In a multi week project we have been exploring ways to combine making and design with instruction on data interpretation, data visualization and science communication. Young people aged 12/13 have disseminated findings from an environmental project to children in primary schools. In this workshop we seek to bring together others doing, or aiming to do, similar work with the hope to bring together a community of interested parties and to share good practice on the integration of building and instruction. This workshop will focus on exploring how maker projects can be used to raise environmental awareness for both the participants and for those who are informed about such projects.
