The paper addresses the method of participatory design shapes a context of designing social robots by creativity and with care. Two research questions will be focused: a) how can we integrate creativity and care into the practice of conducting participatory design interventions and developing social robots? And b) how can we better prepare future robot designers and AI-related professionals in university education? This paper bridges studies on creativity, care, participatory design, human-robot interaction, and AI education. A case on designing Sanne, an automatic floor washer in a Danish nursing home will be discussed that further brings implications of potential strategies to improve social robot design and AI education in the future.
