“…In the smart city and smart object design context, children are usually engaged in project-based learning based on (complex) tasks, challenging questions, or problems that require learners to design, experience problem-solving, and decision making. Projectbased learning leads to the introduction of computational thinking, as children can learn through authentic scenarios, in an iterative approach of making realistic products with programming and robotics [21,27,28]. Hence, children are engaged in building, creating, and customising everyday objects to fulfil personally, and socially meaningful problems, fostering active and significant learning [21].…”

Smart solutions are widespread and diversified. Smart cities and smart objects are example of smart solutions. Their design usually follows certain patterns so that they can detect events and react accordingly. As future citizens, children are expected to interact with them in their daily lives. It is thus crucial to provide children with the tools for understanding, creating, and possibly programming them—in short, designing them. This paper presents a literature review of workshops involving children in designing smart solutions. The review coded a total of 25 papers that met the inclusion criteria. The discussion draws a research agenda using the workshops organized by the authors, the Roobopoli workshops for smart cities and the SNaP workshops for smart objects, as reference. Whereas smart cities and smart objects are usually addressed separately, this paper binds and compares them in order to investigate what, in different settings, enables children to be part of the design of smart solutions.
