Abstract

Tangible fiber crafts are deeply connected to the history and future of computing and present promising contexts for diversifying materials for computer science education. However, it remains under researched whether diverse materials play a role in how computing is learned. This qualitative study fuses constructionist with posthuman perspectives to investigate computational learning with two fiber crafts. Findings present materials as active players in unfolding computational learning, with implications for the design of computational manipulatives.
