Participatory design

Participatory design is a way to create things (like buildings, products, websites, etc.) with people. It's like getting ideas from a lot of different people and then trying to put them together to create something new. For example, if you wanted to design a playground, you might ask a bunch of different kids what they would like to play with and then use their feedback to create the best possible playground.
