The present case study describes and comments on an experimental activity with 9-11 year old children of a public school in Lecce (Italy) in August 2018. The pupils were required to create computational tools using materials recycled from their own home. We adopted a constructionist perspective; we wanted to foster reflection and discussion among the young participants on the amount of household waste produced and how it can be repurposed for creating novel objects. In order to achieve our scope, we were guided by collapse informatics theory and research through design.

Abstract
The present case study describes and comments on an experimental activity with 9-11 year old children of a public school in Lecce (Italy) in August 2018. The pupils were required to create computational tools using materials recycled from their own home. We adopted a constructionist perspective; we wanted to foster reflection and discussion among the young participants on the amount of household waste produced and how it can be repurposed for creating novel objects. In order to achieve our scope, we were guided by collapse informatics theory and research through design.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
