ECSC 007 (Design Loft)
In this workshop, we'll look into some of the impacts of climate change through the lens of climate justice, and talk about the importance of participatory approaches when leading community-centered projects. The activities will help us think about how we may design technologies in resource-constrained scenarios, while we engage community members and stakeholders ethically and inclusively.
