Applying Principles of Well-being to Digital Design for Kids at Play Make Learn 2024

We are thrilled to be heading to Madison for the Play Make Learn conference from July 17-19, 2024.

Please join us for a panel where we will discuss our Well-Being by Design Fellowship, a professional development program for designers and producers of interactive kids’ technology and media to center children’s well-being in their products.  Our goal is to develop a supportive ecosystem that encourages tech and media creators to design with children’s best interests in mind, ultimately fostering a safer, more engaging, and more enriching digital environment for kids with well-being at the center of the experience.

Our inaugural cohort of fellows met regularly from January -April 2024 to explore different facets of well-being, including creativity, social connection, and empowerment and workshopped their own products with these principles in mind. The Cooney Center’s Senior Director of Research, Medha Tare, will lead a conversation with three of our fellows, Melissa Gedney (PBS Kids), Olivia Levenson Korchagin (Global Tinker), and Keeana Saxon, Esq. (Kidogo Productions)  in a panel and interactive Q&A.
