SXSW EDU 2026 Workshop: Co-Designing EdTech with Kids

This interactive workshop introduces the Co-Design with Kids Toolkit—a research-informed resource that empowers edtech developers and educators to involve children and families in the design process. Learn about practical tools and methods to move beyond user testing into real co-creation with your target audience. Whether you’re building the next big learning app or innovating in the classroom or in afterschool settings, you’ll gain actionable strategies and hands-on experience to create more inclusive, engaging, and effective learning technologies – with kids, not just for them.

Presenters: Mona Leigh Guha and Allisyn Levy (Joan Ganz Cooney Center), Azadeh Jamalian (The GIANT Room)
