  Post-contact language varieties emerged in Australia as a result of forced contact between Indigenous communities and English speakers. These contact varieties are widely used, yet are poorly supported by language technologies. This gap presents barriers to participation in civil and economic society for Indigenous communities using these varieties.

  CRAFT@Large is an initiative launched by the Maker at Cornell Tech to create an inclusive environment for the exchange of ideas through making. We challenge the traditional definition of community outreach performed by academic makerspaces. Existing academic makerspaces often perform community engagement by only offering hourly, one-time workshops or by having community members provide a problem that is then used by students as a project assignment.
