2024 Games for Change Festival

We’re so excited for the Games for Change Festival in just a few weeks! This amazing event is back at Parsons in NYC from June 27-28. We can’t wait to talk about the Responsible Innovation in Technology for Children (RITEC) initiative and the forthcoming Design Guide for Business with our colleagues from UNICEF and the LEGO Group.

On Friday, June 28, join Shuli Gilutz, Ph.D. for a keynote talk on the Main Stage at 10:00 AM:

Designing for Well-being in Digital Play – It’s possible! How can we design digital play for children, that supports and enhances their wellbeing? How can we go beyond safety to create games kids will thrive in? What’s between child rights and wellbeing and how can they be incorporated in the design process? UNICEF & the LEGO group share their findings.

Then at 2:00 PM, join us for How to Build Digital Play for Well-being, an interactive workshop with Michael Preston and Sarah Jacobstein from the Joan Ganz Cooney Center, Shuli Gilutz, Ph.D. from UNICEF, Pia Breum Corlin from the LEGO Group, Nikita Khalid from Scratch Foundation, and Grace Collins from Snowbright Studio. In this 90-minute workshop, participants will learn about the Responsible Innovation in Technology for Children (RITEC) initiative’s research findings on how digital play can impact children’s well-being. We will share guidance being developed to assist businesses in incorporating these findings into the games they design, along with case studies.
