Abstract
Personally meaningful design activities, such as sound making, can provide contexts for engineering education. Sound is personally meaningful because it connects to histories of a person’s experiences and represents them. Building on constructionist perspectives, this qualitative study investigated engineering practices while youth created sound with conductive materials inspired by personally meaningful objects. Findings suggest that personally meaningful design activities should include materials with personal histories.
