Abstract

The My Naturewatch project uses self-build wildlife cameras supporting new public engagements with nature technology. The project used Open Design methods providing self-defined, bespoke making outputs, modelling ?environmental citizenship?, transitioning beyond sustainability. By codesigning makers were encouraged to engage with ecosystems refocusing human habitats perspectives driven by curiosity. The article shares a qualitative evaluation of the project?s impact on participants, describing attitudes, understanding and behaviour towards technology nature changed by participation.
