N2 - This paper aims to draw attention to what and how we teach more-than-human perspectives in computing and technology design education. There is a growing interest in the more-than-human in design research and practice, as a response to social-ecological technological-related challenges faced in a world of ecological and climate justice-related limits. Acquiring the knowledge and skills to design computing and technologies that support a plurality of human and non-human lifeforms and flourishing biospheres, will be crucial for future generations of technology design practitioners. How do we then educate responsible designers? In this paper, we present ideas for an emerging pedagogical framework for teachingmore-than-human perspectives in computing and technology design education to stimulate and provoke a discussion on what and how we should teach. Through outlining this pedagogical framework, we ask the LIMITS community: what are we missing?
