Celebrating the 2026 Well-Being by Design Fellows

You are invited to join the Joan Ganz Cooney Center for a virtual celebration of our 2026 Well-Being by Design Fellows on May 19, 2026 at 12:00pm ET.
Over the past five months, this amazing group of designers, educators, and researchers has explored how to create digital experiences that truly support children’s well-being. At this culminating event, each fellow will present a case study from their project, offering an inside look at their design process, key insights, and the opportunities and challenges of building for kids in today’s digital landscape.
Together, these presentations highlight a shared commitment to centering children’s needs from the earliest stages of product development. We hope you will join us to meet some of the emerging leaders shaping the future of children’s media and technology.
