Co-Designing the Digital Future with Kids, For Kids

What’s the secret to creating digital media products for kids that makes learning engaging and fun? We’ve 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.
On Wednesday, September 27, the Joan Ganz Cooney Center hosted Co-Designing the Digital Future with Kids, for Kids. We discussed the Cooney Center Sandbox with some of our partners, including the GIANT Room, KidsTeam, OKO, Mrs Wordsmith, and ScratchJr. Speakers dicsuss methods, balancing business interests with research-informed goals, and how teams have implemented findings from sessions with children into their product designs.
