Abstract

In recent years, Participatory Design (PD) has emerged as an important design methodology to engage endusers in various phases of design processes, for better understanding about users' perspectives in situated contexts. In this paper, we discuss how to design and structure a participatory design workshop with children, especially in the situation to elicit ideas, knowledge, and values for user experiences that children are not familiar with or have little prior experiences. Our approach to structure a PD workshop is to embed a pre-activity where children can have simulated experiences in a situated context. In a main-activity, children engaged in creating game scenarios with gamification strategies through the layered elaboration technique. In the discussion, we highlight two tensions observed in the PD process: (a) the tension in coupling pre-activity and main-activity from scaffolding perspectives, and (b) the tension in idea ownership and time factor.
