Dear colleagues,
Please find details below of an event taking place on Friday 3rd March in Edinburgh. We hope this will be of particular interest to practitioners and those working at the intersection of design and technology for children and young people.

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 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.
