It can be uncomfortable to admit, but many web designers, myself included, first learned about digital accessibility as a regulation. The “I’m Determined” website focused on better addressing its audiences’ needs through a participatory design process. And so, we approached it that way: Is this website “compliant”? We can’t contribute.

There's a constant dialogue in participatory work about how to make peoples' contributions meaningful. I've written about different structures for participatory processes (especially in museums), and recently, I've been interested in how we can apply these structures to the design of public space.

Participatory grantmaking has been a big part of the Boston’s Women’s Fund since its founding. In building these relationships, they learned that they needed to change the way they spoke to these communities and to take a more multigenerational approach because the girls’ families are a core part of their lives.

It was held in Newcastle in the north of England, and about 70 folks from around the world (but mostly Europe) came to play, learn, make stuff, and help each other work out challenges inherent in trying to make risky ideas happen. That said, the phrase "structured opportunity" is where MuseumNext suffered most. Facilitator bits.

Here’s what I learned about the facilitating design thinking processes: What Is A Design Lab? In some ways, a design lab can be thought of as “participatory research and testing.”. Groups would also get together to discuss failures and lessons learned, so the broader community can be more successful. Why Use One?

One of the most promising models for doing so (and a potential way to structure the NAS report) is scenario-based planning.
