    Critical making

    Critical making refers to the hands-on productive activities that link digital technologies to society. It was invented to bridge the gap between creative, physical, and conceptual exploration. The purpose of critical making resides in the learning extracted from the process of making rather than the experience derived from the finished output. The term "critical making" was popularized by Matt Ratto, an associate professor at the University of Toronto. Ratto describes one of the main goals of critical making as a way "to use material forms of engagement with technologies to supplement and extend critical reflection and, in doing so, to reconnect our lived experiences with technologies to social and conceptual critique."

    Critical making is like values in design, but the former clearly emphasizes the value of material production as a site for critical reflection, following the "material turn" that highlights material objects as a key part of social processes and conceptual frameworks [10]. Ratto's term of critical making is a constructionist approach to ...

    Critical making is a practice that unites critical thinking and hands-on experiments to encourage learning by doing. Drawing from constructionist approaches to proj-ect-based learning, critical making explores the relationships between technologies, art, design, and social issues by making things. According to Matt Ratto (2011),

    CRITICAL MAKING LAB. Instead, through the sharing of results and an ongoing critical analysis of materials, designs, and outcomes, the lab participants together perform a practice-based engagement with the pragmatic and theoretical issues around information and information technology. Physical computational objects are increasingly part of ...
