What’s the secret to creating digital media products for kids that makes learning engaging and fun? The Cooney Center Sandbox has found that including kids throughout the design process has many benefits: it empowers kids who find that their opinions are valued; designers gain a fresh perspective from the audience they’re creating for; and the product itself is often more impactful as a result.
Join the Joan Ganz Cooney Center at Sesame Workshop on Wednesday, September 27 from 1- 2pm ET for Co-Designing the Digital Future with Kids, for Kids, as they discuss the Cooney Center Sandbox with partners, including the GIANT Room, KidsTeam, Oko Labs, Mrs Wordsmith, and the Scratch Foundation. This session will include discussion of about methods, balancing business interests with research-informed goals, and how teams have implemented findings from sessions with children into their product designs.
