Abstract

Participatory Design (PD) engages those who are affected by a future design artefact in the design process. Participatory Design literature mostly describe how users are engaged in the process and tools, techniques and methods for facilitating the process as one of mutual learning. Nevertheless, the study of how users are motivated in engaging with the design process is still uncovered. This paper examines how PD researchers motivates teenagers to engage in a Participatory Design project. By analyzing the core activities in a PD project, we will present the means used for motivating teens to participate in the design process.
