  • Repairing textiles, constructing wearables and making (fun)ctional objects

  • Using the processes of teaching and learning to solve problems and give agency

  • Creating environments for the exchange of skills, knowledge and resources

  • Designing meals and menus; feeding ourselves and each other

  • Observing, documenting, and intervening in public spaces

  • Collaborating in real time and asynchronously
