The conference incorporates papers, presentations, speakers, workshops, participatory design experiences and discussions on how to create better interactive experiences for children. IDC 2013 offers a wide-ranging program that supports and facilitates the exchange of ideas within and between these diverse communities, with a special emphasis on supporting interaction and impact for children in at-risk and marginalized populations. Panels include The Google Experience for Young Users and a discussion of Seymour Papert's research on child-computer interaction. More information at http://idc2013.org/program/. |
