Summer 2025 Design and Making Family Study

Study Status: Active

The Open Design Collaboratory at the University of Toronto Mississauga (pictured above) is inviting mothers interested in design and making to join us for a focus group on how we can design better technological systems to improve their access to makerspaces in the Greater Toronto Area.

The focus group will be organized with 5-6 participants and will be audio recorded. A signed consent form is required for participating. All data will be anonymized and used for paper publications.

The study is supervised by Professor Samar Sabie and a team of research assistants. For further inquiries, please contact:
