ABSTRACT
Children are fast becoming a large user-segment of new technologies in the world. We believe that it is critical that the HCI community continue to lead the way in supporting the best possible design of technology for children. To this end, this course will offer a balance of traditional lecture and hands-on design activities, and will cover techniques which balance the voices and contributions of adults and children.

Coco's Videos: An Empirical Investigation of Video-Player Design Features and Children's Media Use
CHI '18: Proceedings of the 2018 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsIn this study, we present Coco's Videos, a video-viewing platform for preschoolers designed to support them in learning to self-manage their media consumption. We report results from a three-week experimental deployment in 24 homes in which preschoolers ...
Exploring Parent Use of Early STEM Media to Inform Design for Children
IDC '19: Proceedings of the 18th ACM International Conference on Interaction Design and ChildrenThis paper explores how parents identify and use science and math media to engage their preschool children in informal science and math learning. Through an interview study, we examine parental beliefs about media's role in their preschool-aged children'...
