Abstract

"Making" has been gaining traction in HCI and related fields both as a community of practice and as a method for creating objects and systems. While making is an important cultural practice, this paper claims that there is a disconnect between the rhetoric of making and "real world" notions of domain relevance and embedded hardware development. In considering how making operates in practice, we offer the metaphor of a sandbox to describe this contradiction. We exemplify the metaphor with a small-scale prototyping platform of our own, and offer visions on how making might progress in the future.

Negotiating tensions between aesthetics, meaning and technics as opportunities for disciplinary engagement
FabLearn '16: Proceedings of the 6th Annual Conference on Creativity and Fabrication in Education

For educators, making has become a compelling activity for creating expansive learning opportunities in STEM. Less well known are the ways in which disciplinary learning unfolds over time for makers. We explore critical junctures in the ongoing journey ...
Unmaking@CHI: Concretizing the Material and Epistemological Practices of Unmaking in HCI
CHI EA '22: Extended Abstracts of the 2022 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

Design is conventionally considered to be about making and creating new things. But what about the converse of that process – unmaking that which already exists? Researchers and designers have recently started to explore the concept of “unmaking” to ...
Feminist Hackerspaces as Sites for Feminist Design
C&C '15: Proceedings of the 2015 ACM SIGCHI Conference on Creativity and Cognition

This paper describes the work I have conducted with colleagues in and around feminist hackerspaces -- workspaces that support the creative and professional pursuits of women. Through action research, interviews, and participant observation, I have ...
