At the moment, the human, nonhuman, living, and technological actors involved consist of up to 250 plants, the physical infrastructure and adapted furniture for the plants to live in, the IoT infrastructure for the plants (assemblage of smart lighting, humidity, and watering systems), furniture and decorative art pieces for humans, a human or two living there, and the occasional guest. To achieve this, off-the-shelf technologies were hacked and combined to create a programmable IoT system: eleven interior water irrigation systems with a one-minute automated electric pump and a nine-liter water container each; three sets of six 50 cm linear modules with 10-watt full-spectrum LED grow lights (for the studio plant wall);

white schools where Black girls are typically underrepresented, both as girls and as Black students—a positionality that is likely to undermine their motivation for CS. Rankin et al. [3] reveal that formal K–12 CS education can be a hostile environment rife with racism that negatively affects Black girls’ ability to persist in computing. Unsurprisingly, Black women seek to create safe spaces outside of the public education system to overcome the traditional barriers to formal CS education and to promote Black girls’ positive experiences and motivation for CS education and subsequently becoming designers of technology. Employing intersectionality as a critical lens, this article conceptualizes developing safe spaces to support Black girls becoming designers in the context of CS education.

we bring to the forefront a body of knowledge that has to do with how to work, collaborate, explain, be present, resist, agree, dissent, progress, and grow in a given context. This is a body of knowledge that evolves over time and that is created each time the worker engages in the work in a new context. It is a unique body of knowledge that represents the transformation a practitioner experiences through their career. To offer a practical example and shift our discussion back to my initial question (What bodies of knowledge are created or experienced in the interstitial spaces between one’s life sphere and one’s career journey?), I’d like to focus on a role that senior practitioners often play: the mentor. Not dissimilar from what many of my colleagues shared with me, my conversations with mentees are typically more focused on how to work in a given context and less on what quality HCI or design looks like. While good design, quality HCI, and a vast array of hard skills can be described and studied, soft skills are often context-dependent and learned over time. Like parents and educators, mentors share with their mentees best practices, written tips, and anecdotes of their own transformations, and provide examples on how to overcome issues or latch onto opportunities. However, mentors also know that mentees will ultimately need to experience issues and opportunities directly—learned over time is indeed code for experienced directly. That direct experience is the by-product of one’s engagement with the work in a given context—it’s what happens when one is transformed by and through the work. I was and I continue to be available in response [1]. What bodies of knowledge are created or experienced in the interstitial spaces between one’s life sphere and one’s career journey? As HCI practitioners, do we simply design things, or does that act of making also shape us? What stands at the end of one’s making—the designed artifact or a redesigned self? Recently I found myself asking these questions more often than before, revisiting visceral moments in my life’s trajectory that show how my craft, as well as the context in which I was operating, have shaped me. Reflecting on my career, I realized how my craft has evolved thanks to my choices and how my understanding of the world (and my ways of operating in it) shifted thanks to my craft. Life feeds and shifts one’s craft, and one’s craft feeds and shifts one’s life—a fascinating example of interrelatedness that we all experience daily. As an Italian who migrated to Australia in the late 1990s and then to the U.S. in the mid-2000s, it is hard to imagine that those life changes did not affect the practitioner in me as much as the migrant. I doubt that my understanding of design and of my craft would be the same if I had decided to stay in my home country.
