DRS Biennial Conference Series
This project explores Indigenous-led arts and material practice workshops as a form of cultural safety education by fostering dialogue between non-Indigenous healthcare students and Indigenous students in the Lheidli T’enneh Territory (Prince George, Canada). Uniquely, this project is led by an art and design university, and combines Indigenous and designerly ways of knowing to consider an approach to cultural safety education that is not solely focused on the healthcare student or practitioner as the learner, but includes the community as key contributors to the learning experience. Core to the workshop model is the combination of sharing Indigenous histories and the …

Thinking With Card: Tactile And Making-Based Resources For Active Remote Learning In Stem Subjects, Benjamin Hughes
Learn X Design Conference Series
Thinking with Card is an online resource that encourages active learning through making activities linked to subjects within core STEM curricula. The (bilingual) resources are aimed at Key Stage 2 and 3 students (UK) and Middle School students (China) (approx age 7-14). The project was launched in July 2020 in response to the pandemic and corresponding need for stimulating activities suitable for home and remote learning. The free downloadable models can be printed and constructed using simple tools and have shown to help students understand complex concepts which are difficult to grasp from textbooks or even demonstrations (e.g. the relationship …
Distributed Thinking Through Making: Towards A Relational Ontology In Practice-Led Design Research, Luis Vega
Distributed Thinking Through Making: Towards A Relational Ontology In Practice-Led Design Research, Luis Vega
Nordes Conference Series
Practice-led design research is a celebrated but debated field of inquiry. Although it offers appropriate tools to advance design knowledge through and within making, its scope remains limited to the scale of individual practice. Such a limitation hinders the possibility to account for particular design instances in relation to more general contexts. To address this issue, the paper at hand presents an exploratory literature review discussing why practice-led design research may benefit from adopting a relational ontology—i.e., a stance wherein to be is to relate. The review identifies two streams of relational thinking that exhibit potential overlaps with practice-led design …

Craft Education: Authentic Design Constraints, Embodied Thinking, And Craft Making, Pirita Seitamaa-Hakkarainen, Kaiju Kangas
Learn X Design Conference Series
Craft education, as a form of design learning, has a special significance in inspiring human creativity, particularly when conceptual and material aspects of the process reciprocally support one another. This article underlines the relevance of craft and design education; 1) the importance of dealing with various constraints and professional design knowledge, 2) the role of the embodied thinking in design and making activities, and 3) the ability to foster students’ awareness and competence in exploring, evaluating and improving their local environment and design culture. Two longitudinal elementary students’ design projects will be described as examples of integrative and thematic school …
