Critical Making Practical Guidelines

Critical Making has been exploring the potential of the maker movement for social and responsible innovation. By engaging directly with the communities in participatory research processes the consortium aimed to show how maker spaces and maker practices can offer new opportunities for young makers of all genders to contribute to an open society via open source innovation. Next to the academic insights, Critical Making also brought forward a number of very practical findings, mostly targeted towards makers and makerspaces. We call it the “Critical Making Wundertüte” with online and board games, a manifesto, an educational box and much more.... It includes: 1. Critical Making core values 2. Guidelines for gender inclusive making 3. Guidelines for Critical Making education 4. Guidelines for Critical Making open hardware 5. Guidelines for evaluating Critical Making project
