After follow-on funding from the Arts and Humanities Research Council we were awarded the opportunity to further develop the tools into saleable products and present them at the Connected Communities festival in London.
The prototype tools we co-created were developed further following testing and made into products for sale through the Boing-Boing Social Enterprise. We presented the tools at Somerset House as part of the Utopia festival and provided the public with opportunities to engage with (and buy) the products co-created by young people.
Through the process we were able to determine how young people approached the design process and used their experiences to enact opportunities to develop authentic and engaging activities which could benefit themselves and their peers. Contemporary technologies and diverse, practical experience enabled the collaborative development of compelling artefacts and products which will hopefully help improve lives.
Thanks to all involved and the ARHIC for their support funding.
