Revealing the Tuning Practices of Creative Learning Experience Designers

Abstract

We leverage the visual format and affordances of pictorials to make visible and call attention to the unseen design work of educators and designers of creative learning experiences in making and tinkering spaces. We document the process of design and iteration that took place as researchers and educators co-designed a learning experience focused on the intersection of artmaking, circuitry, and computing for participants in a public library makerspace. We present this visual case study as provocations for interaction designers, educators, and researchers who aim to engage people in creative learning experiences with technologies.
