ABSTRACT
This paper presents a case study of the first three months of a new intergenerational design team with children ages 10--13. It discusses the research and design methods used for working with children of this age group, the challenges and opportunities of starting a new team, and the lessons learned.

Examining Adult-Child Interactions in Intergenerational Participatory Design
CHI '17: Proceedings of the 2017 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsPrior studies have focused on child interactions in participatory design (PD) with adults and children, but less is known about what specific adult-child interactions constitute a partnership. In this study, we unpack what constitutes an "equal ...
“What's Your Name Again?”: How Race and Gender Dynamics Impact Codesign Processes and Output
Creating technology products using codesign techniques often results in higher end-user engagement compared to expert-driven designs. Codesign sessions are typically structured in flexible and informal ways to achieve equal design partnerships, especially ...
Play-Based Design: Giving 3- to 4-Year-Old Children a Voice in the Design Process
CHI '20: Proceedings of the 2020 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsThere has been a dramatic growth in interactive technology use by children under the age of 5 during the past decade. Despite this growth, children under the age of 5 typically participate only as users or testers in the design process in the ...
