Abstract: Drawing upon critical justice studies and critical ethnographies in two community-centered makerspaces, we build an argument for how designing for expanded iterations that repeatedly draw from community cultural wealth, supported youth-makers and communities in co-creating an expansive, locally-grounded maker culture. Two related-foci are unpacked: First, we examine how youth engage in an "expanded" iterative process across the making cycle -- what this expanded iterative process is, and how it takes shape as youth move from collaborative ideation through to the afterlife of a maker project. Second, by delving into "moments of expanded iterations" we examine how youth articulate ownership of their making: what that means, how and why, and the subsequent generative spaces that resulted.
