Rightful Presence and Radical Making
Open access0 citations
Abstract
What does it take to truly share power with young people in a world shaped by accelerating technology and deepening inequality? In this keynote conversation, Professor Louise Archer and Eva Vesseur explore how makerspaces can become sites of resistance, equity, and youth-led transformation. From challenging extractive STEM education to cultivating techno-agency and rightful presence, this panel asks how we can move beyond inclusion to co-creation—and why making might just be a form of democratic rebellion.
