This project was one part of a wider study ‘Makerspaces: Enhancing Digital Literacy and Creativity (MakEY)’ EU, Australia and the Americas study. Working together with a Berlin-based toy company known as Vai Kai, the Berlin Fab Lab and Glück Workshops we sought to understand how children can use hacking and making techniques to create, design and play in Virtual Reality.
