Grant Activity:
Fostering making practices in people from low socio-economic backgrounds
Purpose:
This project aims to foster Do-It-Yourself (DIY) practices among people from low socio-economic (LSE) backgrounds in Australia by understanding existing practices at four diverse makerspaces and enabling LSE members to co-design technological prototypes that fit their own needs. Through a set of in-depth ethnographic studies and workshops, this research seeks to develop theories of creative collaborations (informed by empirical data), methods, and prototypes for engaging LSE members in DIY practices. This project will make our culture more inclusive, harness the strengths of LSE members, increase their community engagement, and raise their economic prospects.
