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.
