A workshop conducted by the Joan Ganz Cooney Center at Sesame Workshop, the LEGO Group, and the Fair Play Alliance at #G4C2023!

Join workshop participants who took part in a 1.5-hour playful and interactive session to generate new ideas for designing better digital play experiences for well-being. Attendees will envision and construct a physical representation of a digital space that allows children and adults to thrive – drawing from the Responsible Innovation in Technology for Children (RITEC) and Digital Thriving initiatives – and work in groups to explore case studies of how to integrate concepts of well-being and thriving into design.

Participants will leave with concrete ideas on ways that they can incorporate these concepts into their work and a connection to communities of practice looking to learn from each other to advance this work

Speakers:
Micheal Preston (Executive Director, Joan Ganz Cooney Center, Sesame Workshop)
Sarah Jacobstein (Project Manager, Responsible Innovation in Technology for Children (RITEC), Joan Ganz Cooney Center at Sesame Workshop)
Kimberly Voll (Co-Founder, Fair Play Alliance)
