The key concepts critical making, situated knowledges and interaction were implemented to encourage a learning process aiming at deepening knowledges on critical thinking and hands-on making. We found that augmenting the perception of digital media is necessary moving forward. Acknowledging the hybridity of nature and culture as ever present in critical making practices needs to be taken seriously if we are to create situated educational interventions fostering responsible futures.
