Abstract

A new funded public engagement project that aims to introduce principles and tools of inclusive design to secondary school teachers and enable them to teach their students to think creatively. The research team is a multi-disciplinary one with common belief in inclusive design. Team members include engineers, design researchers, ergonomists and a pedagogy researcher. This paper explains the background and rationale of the project. More important, we found three tensions among these different academic and practical disciplines that were identified in the first planning meeting of this 18-month project. We also found their implications to participatory design and for reflections at the later stage of the project.
