Role-Playing through the Art of Repair
World Maker Faire 2015
May 18th-1st
Presentation
Sustainability & Nature
The repair experience enhances mechanical, material, and instructional literacy. What if we introduced novel ways to see the art of repair? How could our world change if we saw repair as a statement of defiance, a work of art, or even as urban renewal?
