Abstract

Parents and children enter learning experiences with individual and social histories that shape engagement. Educational making environments that are attentive to these histories can support more equitable and inclusive participation. In this design-based implementation research study of family making, we discuss our preliminary analysis of the identity work parents and children engage in during hands-on making workshops. In particular, we focus on expressions and re-evaluations of identities, interests, assets and connections.
