Creating Digital Play for Children’s Well-Being: From Research to Design

The Cooney Center and the NYU Create Lab are organizing an afternoon of learning and play on June 26 at the NYU Create Lab in Brooklyn. We will dive into the findings from new research from the Responsible Innovation in Technology for Children Initiative (RITEC), which looks at how digital design choices impact the well-being of kids, and explore how to apply these insights in a business environment.

• Shuli Gilutz from UNICEF will introduce the RITEC project and why it is important to children

• Jan Plass and Bruce Homer from NYU CREATE Lab  will share results from their research with kids around the world

• Pia Breum Corlin from the LEGO Group and Lise Borgstrøm Henriksen and Ole Kjær Thomasen from the LEGO Foundation will discuss how they are approaching translating RITEC research into LEGO’s work

• Everyone will have a chance to play!
