Abstract
This paper reports a workshop using a Participatory Design technique called Future Workshop that uses democratic principles and values to promotes the collaborative participation by different and diverse people. Our objective is questioning the normative computer culture through the development of the game “Personalities”. The game intends to promote a historical rescue of invisibilized personalities from the computing and technology areas and to foment discussions about the importance of cultural changes through participation and democratization of decision-making processes on technologies. We discuss the interactions on the resulting artifact with students and teachers to contribute to the inclusion of invisibilized people in the area and in a way to make this process richer and diverse.
