   Creative Coding at the art & craft school Robotti

   I am currently working on an article concerning creative coding at the Käsityökoulu Robotti (art&craft school Robotti). Robotti is a non-profit organization that offers teaching on art&tech for children. Creative coding could be described as a programming that is more interested in expression than function, but in Robotti it is also used as a teaching method to empower children to take control of the surrounding digital world. As such it is a critical pedagogical tool as well as an artistic medium. The article is based on the authors own ethnographic study in Robotti as well as interviews and questionnaires of…

   Spotting a researcher in wild!

   Spring is coming, and even the researchers (like me) living in northern parts of the world begin to wake up from their hibernation. This researcher can first be seen at "Naperot ja nykytaide"(Toddlers and contemporary art) -seminar at Kiasma on 6.4.2016. There he will be speaking about teaching at Arts & Craft School Robotti: understanding technology and making art. Just a week after the first sighting you can spot the said researcher again at ITK 2016 (Interactive Technology in Education 2016) - conference. Where he will first be appearing on Wednesday 13.4.2016 at the researcher meeting, where he will be…
