From CO-STORY to CO-CREATE

About

Co-create research project funded by Free University of Bozen-Bolzano aims at expanding co-design process with children from a physical classroom and workshop setting to a remote co-creation process in which children from different localities with different access to tools and facilities can create connected/smart object ideas in a collaborative way. As an outcome, the project envisions creating digital/analogue tools and instruments for children to collaborate over distance for creating new ideas for digital technology while also reflecting on critical issues of the conscious and sense-making use of it. This project is based on the previously done research project Co-story and builds up on its tools and methods for co-designing technology with children.

WEBINAR by Emanuele Marangio (SAMLABS), Roberta Bonetti (UNIBO), Seçil Uğur Yavuz (UNIBZ)

This webinar addressing to educators presents the results obtained from the Co-story project which followed a hybrid methodology coming from anthropology and design to co-design smart objects with children. We reflected together on the possible implications and future perspectives of the Co-story project together with the teachers who would like to go beyond the mere applications of technologies for a more conscious and meaningful use while responding to real needs.
