In the present paper we introduce an activity involving twenty elementary school children aimed at increasing their awareness towards the importance of reusing waste materials. Once that target is achieved, we facilitate children’s purposeful construction of diegetic artefacts and imaginary robots that have environmental purposes. The main goal of the activity is to engage children in tasks through which they begin to reflect on their own future and in particular on how the current choices of the adults can influence the future of their world. The principles of collapse informatics and research through design are the basic key concepts of this project.

Abstract
In the present paper we introduce an activity involving twenty elementary school children aimed at increasing their awareness towards the importance of reusing waste materials. Once that target is achieved, we facilitate children’s purposeful construction of diegetic artefacts and imaginary robots that have environmental purposes. The main goal of the activity is to engage children in tasks through which they begin to reflect on their own future and in particular on how the current choices of the adults can influence the future of their world. The principles of collapse informatics and research through design are the basic key concepts of this project.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
