Children, Interaction, and Design networking event
Friday 3rd March, 10-2.30pm
Our Dynamic Earth, Edinburgh, Holyrood Road, EH8 8AS
Are you a researcher, practitioner, or industry member working or interested in the field of children, interaction and design? If so, the University of Edinburgh’s Children and Technology group invite you to a face-to-face networking event at Dynamic Earth - a leading visitor attraction in Edinburgh.
The event, which is jointly organised by academics from the Centre for Research in Digiital Education and School of Informatics, includes welcome coffee and lunch and an opportunity to learn and discuss ideas with others interested in how design influences the way diverse children of all ages interact, think, feel, communicate and learn, including implications for emerging technologies. This event is co-funded by SICSA and the Wellcome Trust.
Through a combination of short talks, group discussions and showcasing work, we hope to achieve the following outcomes:
• Shared knowledge of cutting-edge theory and practice in Children, Interaction, and Design
• Opportunities to meet and share work with others in the field
• Registered interest in a national network in Children, Interaction, and Design and potential future funding opportunities.
