Date: 2020 February 8 & 9
Location: Digital NEST Watsonville
Social Justice Theme: Civic engagement
Tech Tool: Adobe Illustrator & Screenprinters
Community Partners: Cabrillo Community College Makerspace, Maria Cadenas , Nancy Faulstich - Regernacion
Participants: 32
Creations: Digital graphics expressing their political voice which they learned to screen print onto tote bags
Positive Growth: Participants learned about political expression, historical and institutional barriers to political participation (voter suppression), and advocacy. Engaged in role-playing/hands on social justice activities, and collaboratively made their self-designed print from start to finish.
Lessons Learned: ​
-
Intentionally building connections between different tech tools as a way to fully understand the entire process involved in producing a tangible creation generates a more holistic tech learning experience.
-
When participants engage with a social justice topic that is personal to them and they are able to express it through a tangible creation, their learning experience becomes more gratifying.
-
Involving community organizers who are already doing hands-on work in the field that relates to specific social justice topics can strengthen the participants' learning and motivate them to be more involved in the wider community.
-
Clear division of labor and roles between organizers and facilitators make a more effective team dynamic
