| summary |
This article aims to present analyzes and perceptions regarding the experience of a project developed under the following axes: women, disabilities and the development of Assistive Technology in spaces called Fablabs. The study is developed according to an exploratory approach, with a qualitative nature. This paper provides an introduction, an exploration of the experiments and the reflections over the performed activities. In the practical stages, among others, methods of an ethnographic nature and Design Research were used. The group of women, mothers of children with disabilities, variable in size during the practices (from two to five people), carried out activities to develop assistive technology products using digital manufacturing tools in a public laboratory of the Fablab Livre SP Network , in the city of Sao Paulo, Brazil. The reflections of this study go towards questions related to women's self- esteem in the face of processes of inclusion in the technological area. The multi-signification of the Fablab space and the need to expand the intersectional debate within these environments are also encounters provided by this research. |
